Comments

Monety wybite w Petersburgu i Sestroretsku mają średnicę 34 mm.
Monety z Sestroretska zostały wybite przy użyciu matryc wysłanych z mennicy w Petersburgu, dlatego jedynym sposobem na rozróżnienie monet jest dostrzeżenie śladów nadstukiwania.
Znanych jest kilka drobnych różnic, w tym korona (prosta lub pochylona; ułożenie górnego klejnotu), przeplot monogramu (mennica Krasny) i styl czcionki.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Coins struck at St. Petersburg and Sestroretsk have a diameter of 34 mm.
Sestroretsk coins were struck using dies sent from the St. Petersburg mint, therefore the only way to distinguish coins is to spot traces of overstrikes.
Several minor variations are known including the crown (straight vs leaning; top jewel alignment), the monogram interlacing (Krasny mint) and the font style.
