Commentary


Il s’agit d’un essai de frappe sur la presse Thonnelier. Mise au point par l’ingénieur mécanicien Nicolas Thonnelier, la presse est entraînée par la vapeur, la pression exercée par un levier remplaçant la force mécanique du balancier. Frappant à une cadence de cinquante pièces par minute, elle fut installée en 1845 dans les ateliers de fabrication de la Monnaie de Paris et remplaça progressivement la frappe au balancier ou à vis. Elle sera aussi adoptée par la monnaie de Saint-Petersbourg.

Historical background


RUSSIA - NICHOLAS I

(1/12/1825-2/03/1855)

Nicholas I (7/07/1796-2/03/1855), second son of Paul I, is the brother of Alexander I and Grand Duke Constantin. On the death of his brother Alexander I, on December 1, 1825, and after the renunciation of his brother Constantine, he became Tsar of all the Russias and began by repressing the liberal movement of the Decembrists and then the uprising in Poland in 1831. After favoring the liberation of Greece, he poses as a defender of the Slavs and opposes the Turks. He finds on his way the English and the French. He died before the defeat of the Crimean War.
