1 Denga - Pavel I АМ

Pavel I's short reign produced one of the more chaotic episodes in Russian copper coinage. Immediately upon taking the throne in 1796, he ordered the demonetization and physical destruction of his mother Catherine II's copper coins — a politically motivated act of erasure dressed as monetary reform. The denga and polushka denominations were briefly revived under his watch, then abolished again before his assassination in 1801.

The АМ mintmark places this piece at the Anninsky mint in the Urals, which ceased copper production shortly after this series concluded.
