Russian wire money identification.

2 posts • viewed 39 times

I bought a small lot of 6 coins. I was able to identify 4 of them as minted under Peter the Great; the other two are giving me trouble. I don't think they're from the same ruler.

There is only one Peter on wire money and both examples got what looks like Peter. Between 1701 and 1709 Kadashevsky mint used short title. Similar contemporary counterfeits exist too.
