| Additional information |
Anna Ivanovna's ruble coinage of 1739–40 came at the tail end of a reign dominated by her favorite, Ernst Johann von Biron, whose influence over Russian court finances was so complete that contemporaries referred to the period simply as the Bironovshchina. The Moscow and St. Petersburg mints both struck this type, and attribution between the two facilities is not always straightforward without careful die study.
Anna died in October 1740, making the 1740-dated pieces among the last struck under her authority before the succession crisis that briefly installed the infant Ivan VI.
