| Beschrijving voorzijde | Square copper plate coin bearing the crowned double-headed imperial eagle with a central oval shield depicting St. George slaying the dragon, flanked by the divided date. The Cyrillic legend КОПЕИКА and the mint name ЕКАТЕРIНЪБУРХ (Yekaterinburg) appear around the central device, characteristic of the Russian plate money coinage issued under Empress Catherine I. The overall design follows the Swedish plåtmynt tradition adapted for Russian coinage. This example is a novodel (official restrike), produced for collectors rather than circulation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Russian plate money — large, flat copper squares stamped with corner and center marks — was a Swedish invention adopted by Peter the Great in 1725 to address a chronic shortage of small silver coinage. Ekaterina I continued the experiment after Peter's death that same year, but the plates proved deeply unpopular: they were cumbersome, easily counterfeited by trimming, and impractical for everyday trade. The program was abandoned within two years.
This is a novodel — a later restrike produced by the imperial mint for collectors, not a circulation piece. Brekke and Bitkin both document these restrikes, made from new or reworked dies well after original production ceased.
