Hello all,
I have seen many of these 1728 Peter II 1 Rouble crude fakes online. This appears to look legit but I'm not sure of the different counterfeits of these particular pieces. Any thoughts or help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

No clue but I have seen this on other pieces. Maybe a mintmark?


@Dorado- Thanks for the link to Hertitage. I also looked at these to compare the details of the coin.

Along with the authenticity, I would also love to hear any thoughts on the grade of this piece. I was thinking it would fall around XF40.

Early Russian silver coins especially rubles are known for having lamination. This seems to be consist to look like what a genuine coin is. That said, the patina seems to be odd (could be just taken in a funny angle / lighting source). There are undocumented varieties so I would not be surprised if this is one of them.

I am not an expert so I do hope for all the best for you.
