| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing draped bust of Empress Catherine II wearing an imperial crown and ermine-trimmed mantle, her hair arranged in an elaborate coiffure with curls falling to the shoulder. The portrait is rendered in a neoclassical style typical of late 18th-century Russian coinage. A circular Cyrillic legend surrounds the effigy, reading the abbreviated titles of the Empress as Autocrat of all Russia, with the St. Petersburg mint mark (СПБ) appearing at the base of the bust below the truncation. The field is plain and unadorned, focusing attention on the finely detailed portrait. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 15 kopeck denomination was introduced under Catherine II as part of her 1763 monetary reform, which overhauled the chaotic coinage inherited from the reigns of Elizabeth and Peter III. The .750 fineness reflects a deliberate debasement from earlier silver standards — a fiscal compromise that allowed the treasury to stretch silver reserves while maintaining a convincing circulating coin.
KM#62c specifically corresponds to the later emission of this type, distinguishable from earlier varieties by subtle die and assayer mark differences that collectors track through the Bitkin and Diakov references rather than the Krause attribution alone.
