Coins 1709 year of issue

In Russia, as a sign of victory in the Battle of Poltava over the Swedish army in 1709, the first memorable silver ruble was issued. The profile of the mastermind of victory — Peter I — was minted on his obverse; the battle itself was depicted on the reverse.
The occupation money made in 1709 in Moscow at the height of the Northern War was used by Russian troops. On them, in the territories of the traditional existence of the Polish-Lithuanian monetary system of East Prussia and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (modern Ukraine, Poland and Belarus), forage and foodstuffs were purchased.
These coins are:
- Tinf: it is equal to 1/6 of the thaler of Saxon Augustus II;
- Polutinf otherwise shestak.
The Russian flag, the portrait of Peter I and the legend in Russian were depicted on the half-penny. However, the coin did not have circulation in the Russian market and the designation of its dignity is absent.
During the Northern War (1700 - 1721) between Sweden and Russia, the main hostilities took place on the territory of Poland (Right Bank Ukraine, Belarus). When calculating, the local population is most often reluctant to take a silver Russian coin of the pre-revolutionary sample. Later she took only by the weight of silver. As a result, the Red and Admiralty mints began minting tinf - Polish-style coins intended for the needs of the Russian army.
According to the ligature and their appearance, the coins had to answer 500 samples, but the norms were not maintained and difficulties appeared in the calculations.
The course of timf was officially set at 12 kopecks. Shestak was called the coin, which was used to pay on the lands of the Commonwealth. He was equal to 1/2 timothy. It was a compulsory rate, and the real market rate was 1/3. Release tinfy ceased in 1709.
