Looking at the date, this may be a variety.

@fioti it was not its date what made me suspected it. This coin is already minted on 1810 and the date is matching. The problem is the texture of coin.

It does not look like a 110 year old scarce silver coin.

Especially the toning of below part of the coin makes me think its a copy or fake

Ask for the weight and a picture of the edge.

IMHO, the fact the seller is in Russia is already a red flag.
