Special facts
In the 13th–14th centuries the site of Azov was the Italian trading post of Tana, later the Turkish fortress of Azak. In 1696 Peter I took it in his second Azov campaign. In 1637–1642 the Don Cossacks seized Azov on their own and withstood the famous “Azov siege”. The 10-rouble coin "Azov (13th century)" was issued in 2008 in the "Ancient Towns of Russia" series.
About the period
