| Additional information |
This is a 2009 Russian Federation commemorative restrike reproducing the portrait rouble of Catherine II issued in the first year of her reign, following the coup that deposed — and shortly killed — her husband Peter III. The original 1762 Moscow Mint rouble was struck under considerable political uncertainty, as the new empress moved quickly to establish coinage bearing her image before the year was out.
