Special facts

The 15-kopek piece, the pyatialtynny, became a regular coin under Catherine II in 1764; the first ones, of 1764–1766, were struck at the Krasny Mint, 400,000 to 670,000 a year.

About the period

The coins of Catherine II come from the longest reign of the 18th century and form the most recognisable set: heavy copper 5 kopecks, silver and gold with the empress's portrait, and a separate Siberian coinage. More about the period “Catherine II”, 1762 — 1796
