When looking through my family's coin collection yesterday, I found a 1726 Russian square coin. I was wondering if it is real, what kind of coin it is, and if it is worth anything?
Thanks in advance!

I don't have an electric weighing device so I can't be too exact, but it seems to be a little less than 2.5 ounces (2.4ish) or 70ish gram. Not sure if that is accurate enough. I could always buy an electric scale.
Can you tell from the picture if it is a counterfeit or not? Is it worth anything?

Thanks for the information!

How could I find out if it is genuine? I googled the coin and found a few like it, but the lettering on top is quite a bit different than mine. I am a little skeptical because it is still in such a good shape.
