| Additional information |
Novodels — official restrike specimens produced by the Imperial Mint for collectors, typically in the 18th and 19th centuries — exist for this type because original 1726 poltinas were struck in extremely limited numbers during a period of considerable monetary instability following Peter the Great's death. Catherine I's reign lasted barely two years, and her coinage output reflects that brevity. Bit#H61 places this among the recognized novodel catalogue, meaning the dies used were either original survivors or close facsimiles cut specifically for the collector trade under later imperial sanction.
