so how a fellow coin collectors how you going this is Glenn back with another video
and today we have some coins from the Russian Empire so there's a silver coins
a small self coin that was issued at no later eighteen to early 1900s with the
ten Copic know as you can see there's some you can see this is some
discoloration so I'm just wondering if this is actually make for a coin which
is a counterfeit coin with silver on top so I'm not too sure the other two are
pretty normal and as you can see by the quality in just the actual discoloration
could be coloration on top of this coin which is uh yeah it's pretty normal or
it could be just a dis been worn away anyway so ting copy 1996 there's a
seventeen and a half million coins so it's quite a high denomination and as
you can see you have s P B in Cyrillic that just means st. Petersburg mean so
this one's had the mint mark 1915 doesn't have the mint because earlier
times they actually use different mints as well and on the reverse we have the
coat of arms of Russia and here we have initials I would say most likely they
meet master at the time and that's if say Felix oh no no sorry
a B sorry that's a B that eloquent by PI units you know no butchered it war where
his gun yeah you put your Russian Oh
native Russian speaker just like you butcher English which I'm fine with
so your second eyes denomination is a 15 Copic so here it is as you can see
there's no initial saw st. Petersburg on it and on the back it's quite a nice
coin here we have the coat of arms of Russia and let's get a close-up so he's
the coat of arms don't know my hands to bend away all the time in here we have
the s next Anne told Victor Smirnov and he was actually the last mcmaster oh
this ain't Petersburg me here we have the 20 Copic has pretty much the same on
the reverse so the metal value of this coin is actually 44 US cents so this one
shall be 66 you were since and this one should be 88 US cents because it's
double D 10 Copic so at the time when silver was used the denominations had
the silver content of that denomination starting from where the one value silver
denomination was determined off and in this case it's a one-room where we had a
certain value of silver which would have been four dollars 40 over silver and
this is ten percent one room so it would have had ten percent of silver this was
about 20 percent and this would have had 15 percent of the silver value okay
looking at new mister 1915 and 1917 they didn't have a mint mark so they the mint
marketed to 1914 and 1917 was their last year that these coins are actually
minted because of the Russian Revolution it actually stopped coins from being
minted so what is the mintage of the
2013 let's get back to it
so the 1913 is actually a lie mentor Queen has 4 million 250,000 it also has
a proof coins as well and most of these coins actually in that mintage range we
have a few for money 1879 1880 Oh for over 20 million coins
we have over 9 and I 607 15 and 20 million coins respectively in 1914 52
million coins which is actually the highest minted coin of this series and
this series is actually issued on that Alexander the first Alexander second
Alexander the third and Nikolai II second so that actually didn't change
with the change in monarch the 1915 15 Copic had a mintage of 59 million 333333
just actually not as many as II
1916 which they had to mintages of Rand about 96 million coins
each one was in Osaka Japan nearby Messina well here it has Petra look at
but still st. Petersburg so the name of st. Petersburg change from st.
Petersburg Petrograd to Leningrad then back to st. Petersburg which is also the
current name so someone actually asked me how do I know that the names while I
was talking about Ho Chi Minh City how I know will be changed back well we have
some examples it'll be change back to Saigon
we have a Volker clad which is changing Stalingrad
change back to Volgograd st. Petersburg will change your Petrograd then to
Leningrad then back to st. Petersburg and in Germany we have Chemnitz we just
changed a car max it's that and no change back to Chemnitz and it probably
is actually I'm certain that there is ever cities that have names have been
changed but have been changed back because the political situation made
their previous name really unattractive and untenable so these are the coins of
or some of the coins of Imperial Russia I hope you like them this one's on I've
got these on eBay don't really want them anymore because mmm it's just not part
