History

In 1763 the Cabinet of Her Imperial Majesty sent a request to the office of the Kolivan-Voznesensky plants about the possibility of the use of copper produced as a by-product from the smelting of ore of silver and gold to mint copper coins. 5 Dec 1763, Empress Catherine II issued a decree on circulation of new copper coins, the circulation of which was limited to the territory of the Siberian region. The decree was accompanied by a picture of the new coins. Coins of ten, five and dvuhkopeechnaya denomination was supplied on the edge that says "Kolyvan copper", later that sign was replaced with the letters KM on the obverse. Siberian copper coin minted in Suzun mint from 1766 and were circulated from the city of Tara in the West to Kamchatka in the East and are not recognized in the European part of Russia. Annually producing coins for 250-300 thousand rubles, Suzun mint not only quickly saturated the market of Siberia and the Far East, but also caused a number of difficulties. The fact that the state Treasury took from the peasants the payment of taxes and duties by silver, and so the peasants, in the turn, its products also only sold for silver. Who came to Siberia merchants also refused to receive the Siberian coins. As a result, the course of the Siberian coin, and the income of the Royal Cabinet be reduced. And a Study finds a way out that from 1781, Suzun mint gets the right of coinage of the Russian coins. 7 Jun 1781 issued a decree on the termination of Siberian coinage of copper coins and the transition to national brands and 16-year ruble stop "without any set-off small particles of gold and silver, the copper contained". First minted Siberian coin remained in circulation. The first batch of Siberian coins were issued in 1766, and was 23 277 rubles 52 ½ penny. The Siberian coins were issued for 3 656 310 rubles, some sources indicate the number 3 661 799 rubles.
