I would love someone who can read/speak Russian to have a look at this.

 

This coin is listed as year 1703. But Krause, as well as the auction the picture is from, lists it as 1702.

I have no idea where the year is supposed to be on this coin.

That's already it, thanks.

There is 1702 (АΨВ) on the coin.

 

UPD: there is a text with an exact date Febrary 1, 1702

 

This is so-called “reward coin” known at the name “Крестильный четвертак” (baptismal quarter) intended not for circulation, but to reward anyone, probably for the victories over the Swedes in the Northern War. So, the type of the coin shall be changed to non-circulation. “Quarter” means that is ¼ of “Reward ruble”.

 

Great to see that one of the 2 pieces known is in a someone's collection at Numista:)

Maybe because it's Byzantine calender it was made after September making it 1703 Gregorian?

Edit: I think that doesn't make sense Peter the Great abolished the Byzantine calendar use in 1700 maybe it's a Julian calendar thing or it was a simple miss-click

҂аѱb - 1000x1+700+2

 

Your titbit should also be in the comments.

Yes, you are correct that ҂аѱb: ҂А=1000, Ѱ=700, В=2

This is a date by Julian calendar, so Febrary 14 by Grigorian one.

Ah, okay Julian is behind Gregorian that would make 1703 impossible. Calendars with different starting dates are a bit confusing to me 😅
