The history and stages of development of the state can be traced, if we study coins of different years of release. Changed: manufacturing technology, metal for coinage, the type and design of coins. The payment system was constantly improved. Reforms were carried out, which radically changed the order of monetary circulation in the country and replenished the treasury. Income from monetary reform in Russia during the reign of Peter I amounted to 10 million rubles.
Peter the Great created a centralized monetary device, in which the denominations of coins had a clear subordination. Modernization of the country was carried out at their own expense, without attracting foreign loans.
At the beginning of 1718 began the conversion of monetary circulation. The production of wire kopecks from silver, copper kopeks, half-mills, and denezhek has ceased.
Puskus were produced, which decreased by half. Copper money is easy to manufacture and the number of fakes has increased. It was easy to make a coin by hand, and the profit was fivefold. To combat counterfeiters, they began to introduce methods of making counterfeit banknotes.
In 1718, they began to mint gold coins of two rubles, in exchange for chervonets without a nominal. Gold was used for coins lower than for gold gold pieces. The reverse, instead of a stamped eagle, had an image of St. Andrew the First-Called with St. Andrew's Cross, the obverse was an image of the Tsar. These coins were called the two-ruble Andreyevsky or the St. Andrew’s gold, and were more often used for internal circulation.
The king, by his decree of 1718, legislatively approved a set of denominations of silver coins. The composition of the alloys was ordered and the sample was approved. This eliminated the abuse of mints, which voluntarily lowered the sample in the manufacture of coins. Contributed to the uniformity of the design of the inscriptions and the appearance of coins.
