Altynnik - Peter I

正面描述	Central device depicts Saint George as an armored equestrian figure, shown in right profile astride a rearing horse, thrusting a long lance downward toward a serpent or dragon prostrate beneath the horse's hooves. The warrior wears a helmet and flowing cloak, rendered in the traditional Muscovite wire-money style translated to a struck billon flan. The field is plain and unlettered, with the entire composition occupying the full face of the coin in bold, somewhat archaic relief characteristic of early Petrine coinage.

附加信息	The altynnik — worth three kopecks — was part of Peter I's sweeping monetary reform that dismantled the old wire-money system and introduced machine-struck coinage on Western European principles. By 1718, the reform was well underway but the billon small change remained perpetually troubled: the low silver content made these pieces profitable to counterfeit, and contemporary documents record persistent problems with unofficial copies circulating alongside genuine mint output. KM#154.1 distinguishes the Moscow mint variety by die details that collectors have used to separate the type from closely related emissions of the same year.
