| Beschrijving keerzijde | The denomination numeral 2 appears prominently at the top of the field, followed below by the Cyrillic inscription КОПЕЙКИ in bold block letters arranged across the centre of the coin. A horizontal line separates the denomination from the date 1800, which is struck in large numerals in the lower field. Below the date, the mint mark Е.М. (Екатеринбургский монетный двор — Ekaterinburg Mint) is inscribed in two abbreviated letters with stops. The layout is strictly rectilinear and unornamented, consistent with the utilitarian typographic style mandated by Pavel I's coinage reform. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Pavel I's short reign produced one of the more unusual monetary reforms in Russian imperial history. On accession in 1796, he immediately reversed several of his mother Catherine II's policies — including her coinage standards — and ordered copper coins restruck to a heavier weight specification, returning to the older 16-ruble-per-pood rate that Catherine had abandoned. The EM mintmark denotes the Yekaterinburg Mint in the Urals, which handled the bulk of Russian copper production given its proximity to the ore sources.
Pavel was assassinated in March 1801, ending a reign of just four years.
