Commentary

Avec l’entrée en guerre de la Russie aux cotés de la France et du Royaume-Uni, Saint-Pétersbourg, jugé trop allemand, est russifié en 1914 en Petrograd. Ainsi les lettres d’atelier disparaissent des monnaies..
With Russia's entry into the war alongside France and the United Kingdom, St. Petersburg, deemed too German, was Russified as Petrograd in 1914. Thus, mint letters disappeared from coins.
