Those who are serious about this, understand that there are instances that can bring not only moral satisfaction, but also enrich its owner. The collection turns into capital. The most expensive specimens are the royal coin.

And the more collectors appear,who want to get such copies to their collection, the more they cost. But not everyone is looking to gain.

What are they needed for

What is so attractive, for example, the royalCopper coins or their more noble counterparts of gold and silver? Most likely, its historical value. Lovers of antiquity with reverence imagine who a few centuries ago held this money in their hands, under what circumstances was lost and could "survive" to this day the royal coin.

Which is worth more

The crown of each collection is the rarest and,accordingly, the most expensive unit. For example, the value of coins of tsarist Russia is higher if they are test specimens. That is, they were released in limited quantities to determine whether it is necessary to engage in mass production. Such rarities include the Constantin ruble, made of silver. It was released in 1825. The number of these coins does not exceed 5-6 pieces. Or existing in an even smaller amount (2 pieces) Petrine silver rubles. The release date is 1722.

How it all began

The monetary reform of the 16th-17th centuries had itsinfluence on the monetary system of. Money was minted both from simple copper, and from noble gold. Their nominal value was very different from that adopted today. At that time in the course were fifty kopecks, polupotinniki, as well as 5 kopecks and a hryvnia. In 1704 the coinage of the first Russian silver ruble was made. In 1718 they began to issue two-ruble coins. It is noteworthy that at that time on the back depicted a two-headed eagle with symbols of power in clawed paws. Interestingly, silver in tsarist Russia was inexpensive. After all, it was extracted very much, besides new metal processing plants were being built. Therefore, he was not spared and produced coins made of high-grade silver.

Gradually reform of money was carried out. On the coins, instead of the eagle, four intertwined letters of P. were depicted. Gradually, there was an impoverishment of the silver reserves, the sample was reduced. In 1730 new money was released. On the obverse of the silver ruble, Anna Ivanovna was portrayed. Several times the weight of coins was facilitated because of the need to cut government spending. But gradually the mass reached 18 grams, the coins grew heavier and remained so until the beginning of the last century.

And before it was not wooden

The silver ruble did not lose its positions on themoney market and in the time of Alexander the First. But he had to change the look. The signs indicating the autocrat disappeared. Coins began to be called state coins. Money value even on gold or platinum money denoted the amount of silver. Alexander II first increased the coinage, but then ordered to lower their sample. This applies to all coins, except for the silver ruble.

But Alexander the Third wanted againportray your portrait on the front side. Jubilee coins began to be produced in the late XIX - early XX century. They were released on major holidays. The dominant position of the silver ruble was changed by Witte at the end of the 19th century. He made the basic monetary unit a gold ruble. During this period, the coins acquired an almost modern appearance. The main difference was the image of the emperor on the front side.

If a person has all the necessaryknowledge, no one can deceive him. So, the numismatist can be proud of the fact that in his collection there are special coins, royal coins. The price to be paid for owning them for a real collector does not matter.
