| Aversbeschreibung | The obverse displays the Russian countermarks applied in 1655 over the host Erfurt Thaler of 1632: a rectangular cartouche bearing the date '1655' and a small oval punch depicting a mounted horseman (Tsar on horseback) bearing a spear to the right, both struck onto the host coin's field. The host coin's original design, an Erfurt civic thaler (Dav. 4546), is visible beneath the countermarks, featuring the crowned arms of Erfurt flanked by radiating feathers surmounted by a Hebrew tetragrammaton within a crown, with the inscription DEXTERA TUA DOMINE PERCUSSIT INIMICUM in the field and the circular Latin legend around the periphery. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The jefimok policy of 1655 was a fiscal emergency measure: Russia lacked the infrastructure to mint silver coinage at scale, so Alexey Mikhailovich's government simply counterstamped Western European thalers already in circulation and declared them legal tender at 64 kopecks. The Erfurt taler was among dozens of host types pressed into service this way. A dated rectangular counterstamp and a horseman punch were applied together — both required for validity.
The experiment lasted a single year. Debasement controversies and commercial resistance, culminating in the Copper Riots of 1662, ultimately traced their roots back to this period of monetary improvisation.
