Monety z 1762 r. zostały wybite przez Katarzynę Wielką, ponieważ Piotr III, który rządził krótko w 1762 r., zmienił standard monetarny tak, że wartość miedzianych monet została podwojona poprzez zmniejszenie o połowę ilości miedzi. Oznacza to, że wartość jednego rubla miedzi została uznana za dwa ruble. Jedna kopiejka stała się dwoma kopiejkami, dwie kopiejki stały się czterema kopiejkami itd.

Katarzyna zmieniła standard monetarny z powrotem na taki, jaki był wcześniej. Chociaż dwa kopiejki i pięć kopiejek Katarzyny są czasami wybijane nad dwoma i pięcioma kopiejkami Elżbiety, większość z nich została wybita nad emisją z 1762 roku, aby zapobiec równoczesnemu obiegowi monet o tej samej wadze, ale różnych nominałach. Jest to główny powód, dla którego miedziane monety Piotra są tak rzadkie.

Po drugie, monety Piotra miały charakterystyczny wzór, więc widząc ślady jego wzorów na nadrukowanym kawałku, nie są potrzebne żadne znaki daty, aby zidentyfikować datę podtypu, ponieważ jego monety zostały wybite tylko w 1762 roku.

Najbardziej oczywistym elementem projektu zwykle widocznym na wybitej monecie z 1762 roku jest napis nominału. Czasami można zobaczyć "4", które jest nominałem charakterystycznym dla 1762 roku.

The 1762 coins were overstruck by Catherine the Great because Peter III, who ruled briefly in 1762, had changed the monetary standard so that the value of the copper coins were doubled by halving the amount of copper. That is, the value of one ruble of copper was deemed now to be worth two rubles. One kopeck became two kopecks, two kopecks became four, etc.

Catherine changed the monetary standard back to what it had been previously. Although two kopeck and five kopeck pieces of Catherine are sometimes found struck over two and five kopecks of Elizabeth, most of them were struck over the 1762 issue to prevent coins of the same weight but different denominations from circulating concurrently. This is the primary reason that the copper coins of Peter are so scarce.

 

Secondly, Peter’s coins had a distinctive design, so by seeing the traces of his designs on an overstruck piece, no signs of the date are necessary to identify the date of the under type, since his coins were struck only in 1762.

The most obvious design device usually seen on an overstruck 1762 piece is the denomination inscription. Sometimes, the “4”, which is a denomination peculiar to 1762, might be seen.
