Polushka 1714

Coins-Tsarist Coins

Reverse
The central part features the denomination in two lines: POLUSHKA. Below, the year of mintage is indicated in Old Church Slavonic: 1714. Around the central image is the text: ВСЕѦ РОСIИ ПОВЕЛIТЕЛЬ (Ruler of All Russia). 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 heads of the eagle bear crowns, and a third, larger crown is placed between them. In its right talon, the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left, an orb. Around the eagle is the inscription: ЦРЬ ПЕТРЬ АЛЕѯIЕВИЧЪ (Tsar Peter Alexeevich). The rim consists of dots.
