I got confused which date we're on (because of all the 1800 and 1799 coins being posted), so here's the bottom half of a Russian 2 kopecks from Paul I dated 1798.



I'll try to check if I have any pics of my 1797 cartwheel pennies. Always wondered why they're so often found so worn; I thought they were very unpopular.

[EDIT: added the coin - oops!]

You made me look back to be sure, but all good.

Less durable pure copper versus an alloy?
