Commentary


Il s’agit ici de l’essai de la 3 kopecks 1840 avec la marque de l’atelier de Saint-Petersbourt “CПБ”. La frappe courante qui commence en 1840 comporte des marques d’ateliers différentes, soit “EM” soit “CПM”. La frappe est de très grande qualité, effectuée avec des coins tout neufs sur des flans polis ce qui donnent l’aspect si particulier de ces frappes d’essai.

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.
