Coins-Tsarist Coins

Reverse
The central part features the denomination in two lines: ДЕНГА. Below it, the year of mintage is indicated in Old Slavonic: 1715. The surrounding inscription reads: ВСЕѦ РОСIИ ПОВЕЛIТЕЛЬ. The rim resembles twisted rope—the traditional denticles are set at an angle to the ground.
Obverse
The center of the obverse is occupied by the coat of arms of the Russian Empire—a double-headed eagle. Both eagle heads bear crowns, with a larger third crown between them. In its right talon, the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left, an orb. The surrounding inscription reads: ЦРЬ ПЕТРЪ АЛЕЗIЕВIЧЪ. The rim is decorated with dots.
