Hello forum I live in Italy, my name is Simon and I recently inherited a lot of coins. I'm not a collector but I'm trying to catalog them slowly through the Internet, but on this coin I have really great difficulties could you give me a hand? greetings   |

That coin is a 1727 Russia 1 ruble, KM#177.
It's supposed to weigh 28.44 grams.
But here's the catch: unfortunately, it does not look genuine. Google this: Russia 1727 1 ruble, KM#177. You'll be able to compare yours to a genuine example.
Edit: Link not allowed.

Your coin has the appearance and weight of a Poltina or 1/2 Rouble of Imperial Russia. KM # 176.1. If genuine you will find more details on this web site:- http://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world. Enter - Russia 1727 and scroll down the list to Russia 1727 Poltina, 1/2 Rouble Be aware, however, that their are many reproductions of this coin in the marketplace. |

50 kopeks = 1/2 rouble = 1 poltina
1727 СП' (SPB : St Petersburg mint)
To find if it is silver : if you drop the coin from a height of some cm on a stone flore, you should hear a clear sound.
Or you put the coin on the tip of your finger and tap it with something hard plastic, it should also give a clear and bright sound.
Compare with an other silver coin.
Or you can consult a jewelry.
the writing on the coin says :
first picture :
ЕКАТЕРИНА ИМПЕРАТРЕЩА САМО- "ЕР-ИЦА BСЕРОС (всероссийской)(or something) : Catherina I, all-russian autocrate empress
second picture :
МОНЕТА НОBАЯ ЦЕНА ПОЛТИНА : moneta nova poltina : new price money poltina 1727
(PS : next week I am in Rimini)

 Yes, it would be a half ruble. Quote:

The weight is exactly half of the weight of the rouble.
