At least I think it is. Krause doesn't give weights for the 2 Kopek but this one weighs 8.6gr, 25 mm.

I know it's not brilliant, but Russians are starting to interest me in a big way and I'd like to learn a lot more.
Thanks,

Nice coin, but in pretty bad condition although they are hard to find in good condition. I have similar coin from I think 1779 or 1778 but on reverse it doesn't have Saint George but Russian imperial coat of arms (eagle with crown).

Yes, while the 1 and 2 kopek show St. George, the large 5 kopek pieces feature the double-headed eagle.

Thank you both. The more I see of these coins the more I like.
