| Additional information |
Peter II was thirteen years old when this coin was struck, ruling under the effective control of the Dolgorukov family, who had maneuvered him away from the Menshikov faction following Peter the Great's death. The court relocated from St. Petersburg back to Moscow in 1728, which is precisely why the Kadashevsky Mint — not the capital's facilities — produced this issue. The boy-tsar would be dead of smallpox within two years, leaving no heir and extinguishing the male Romanov line.
KM#182.2 distinguishes this variety from the Moscow mint's other 1728 ruble by die details in the reverse legend spacing.
