| Beschrijving voorzijde | Irregularly shaped square copper plate bearing five struck impressions: a central circular medallion containing a four-line Cyrillic legend denoting the denomination and date within a beaded border, flanked at each corner by a smaller circular impression depicting a crowned double-headed imperial eagle with plain breast. The corner eagle devices are applied from a common die and serve both as authentication stamps and decorative elements, consistent with the Swedish-inspired plate money (plåtmynt) coinage introduced under Catherine I. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Russian plate money — kvadratnye monety — was copied directly from the Swedish plåtmynt system, introduced under Peter I as a way to give copper a denomination far exceeding its intrinsic value by sheer mass. The 1726 Ekaterinburg issues are among the earliest products of that mint, which had been established specifically to process Ural copper. Catherine I's reign lasted barely two years, making her plate coinage a narrow window in the series.
These squares were never practical currency in any ordinary sense. Movement between treasury points required carts.
