Currency: Ruble
Alexander III, the son and successor of Alexander II, became the emperor of Russia in 1881.
In the first five years of his rule, he did not change the type of the previous ruble. Under him, the release of stamps and pennies for Finland consistently continued. The nominal row of Alexander III also did not significantly redraw: the price of Russian coins took the beginning from ¼, ½ kopecks. Then there was a penny, 2, 3 kopecks (copper), 5, 10, 20, 25 kopecks, half a ruble, a ruble (silver), 3 and 5 rubles (gold).
True, in 1881, 15 kopecks (silver) were returned to the Russian coin catalog, and in 1887 silver 50 kopecks appeared there. But the “polushki” and “money” left the coin line of the country.
Alexander III, with the release of money, did not deviate from the silver standard set earlier. But he changed the already traditional "modesty" of coins and returned the image of the ruling monarch to the newly introduced samples. From 1886 to 1894 coins of 10 gold rubles were minted, also bearing the profile of the emperor. The cost of Russian coins of the "golden" series often exceeds the level of one million rubles.
True, copper samples of that time are sometimes sold at exceptionally high prices - it comes to thousands of dollars. Therefore, it is rather difficult to buy coins of Russia made under Alexander III.
