| Aanvullende informatie |
Elizabeth's ruble of 1741 was struck in the immediate aftermath of a palace coup that deposed the infant Ivan VI — a coup she led personally, arriving at the Preobrazhensky Guards' barracks in the middle of the night to secure their loyalty before marching on the Winter Palace. The new coinage was politically urgent: Ivan's face had to disappear from circulation and Elizabeth's had to replace it, fast.
The .802 fineness reflects a silver standard inherited from Peter the Great's monetary reforms of the early 18th century, which Russia maintained with unusual consistency through successive reigns.
