The 1808 ruble coin

Silver, stamping. In the center is the State Coat of Arms of the Russian Empire — a double-headed eagle with lowered wings (the "Masonic" type of eagle was not yet used during this period, the wings are pointing upwards). Under the eagle's paws, the letters "M K" are visible — the initials of the mint master Mikhail Kleiner, who worked at the St. Petersburg Mint. Along the edge of the coin there is an inscription "RUBLE COIN", and in the upper part the year of issue is indicated — "1808". On the reverse is the inscription "STATE RUSSIAN COIN S.P.B." under the crown. Good collector's condition. Guarantee of authenticity.
