Soviet gold chervonets

A separate group are the “royal chervonets” of the Soviet coinage. Considering them a variety or classifying them as fakes is a rather problematic issue. There is no definite opinion on this matter.

The fact remains that for two years, from 1925 to 1926, the Leningrad Mint secretly minted gold coins in denominations of 10 rubles of the 1901 model.

The work was carried out in three shifts, and overtime was used if necessary.

The details of this secret special order have been preserved:

• December 1925 - 600,000 units;
• January 1926 - 411,000 units;
• February 1926 - 100,000 units;
• March 1926 – 900,000 units.

The result of the work was the release of 2,011,000 gold ten-ruble notes, analogues of the Tsar's chervonets.

Despite the fact that the minting was carried out very carefully and using equipment left over from pre-revolutionary times, the samples of the remake have characteristic differences. The likely reason is the use of stamps that have not been used before. The loss of the previous stamps did not allow achieving perfect similarity, and a number of significant differences make it easy to distinguish the original from the tsarist ten Soviet years of issue.

The differences relate to the obverse, which is different in size, wide outer edge and other details from the obverse of the old stamp. If numismatists call a pre-revolutionary portrait a “big head,” then the profile of the head of Emperor NICHOLAS II on Soviet samples is significantly smaller than its 1901 counterparts and is called a “small head.” The curve of the neck at the back of the head is more oval, for which among collectors the image received the apt name “light bulb” and the less common “Italian”.

Another difference between the “Soviet-Tsarist” chervonets is the details on the edge. They concern the brackets that contained the initials of the mintzmeister. On the edge of Soviet minted coins they stand much further from the letters. The letters themselves are also different. On pre-revolutionary banknotes the letter P is made in a perfect semicircle; on Soviet examples it looks triangular, like the letter G was minted by adding an additional stroke. There are also differences in the shape of the letter “Z” in the word forms “gold” and “zolotnik”. Soviet analogues are distinguished by more rounded ends, in contrast to the straightened ends of the letter “Z” on pre-revolutionary chervonets.

The massive circulation of coins from the bygone autocracy was explained by political and economic reasons, which the young Soviet government solved in such a unique way. In international payments, foreign countries refused to accept Soviet chervonets, making claims about the low quality of gold. But the royal ten-ruble notes were accepted very willingly. Another reason is that the cost of the imperial tens was significantly lower than the Soviet ones, so foreign partners accepted them more willingly.

Thus, with the help of the massive circulation of pre-revolutionary gold chervonets, the Soviet state was able to overcome the “golden blockade” of capitalist countries on the foreign economic market.

The cost of “remakes” is easy to calculate on your own: (exchange price of 1 gram of gold) x 0.9 (fineness coefficient 900) x 8.6 (weight of a gold chervonets) + 2-5% (numismatic markup if the buyer agrees to pay for Soviet coinage) = cost remake coins. See below for the real cost of the royal original.

The table shows approximately what the cost of ten rubles is. It will be possible to say more specifically after an assessment by our specialist (for this we invite you to a store in Moscow). The cost is due to the fairly large number of products. For example, the circulation in 1900 was 5,372,000. In total, more than 60,000,000 pieces were issued during minting. But 10 rubles. 1910 is considered expensive. If you are interested in how much the 1898 coin costs, come to our store in Moscow.

Coin characteristics:

How to spot a fake

10 rubles of 1901 made of gold due to its price and popularity attracts many counterfeiters. Cases of counterfeiting are quite common in this environment, which makes it urgent to correctly distinguish the original from all kinds of fakes.

The low price for a sold sample should be the first thing to worry about. The owner of a real coin will never give it away for nothing. Here the conclusion is clear: fake or criminal (stolen).

A high price is also not a guarantee of authenticity. They may deliberately inflate the price in order to reduce vigilance, and then make a concession during the bargaining process and sell the buyer a fake.

When purchasing a coin, you should be careful and check in every possible way. It should be noted that there are no universal ways to distinguish a fake from an original.

You can give only a few tips for independently analyzing the chervonets, but it is better to contact experienced numismatists:

• know the historical period of coin issue. For example, the image of an eagle must correspond to that year's national emblem;
• check "to the teeth". Determine the degree of metal hardness. Gold is a soft metal and can easily leave marks. Do not forget that a fake may be made of lead;
• magnetic properties. Gold has no magnetic properties;
• foreign metal. It is possible that the coin is gold plated. By slightly scratching the sample with a needle, it is easy to recognize a fake;
• nature of the surface. A perfectly smooth surface should raise suspicions. Having passed through decades, the chervonets cannot look perfect, especially from circulation;
• inspection of the herd. The initials of the mintzmeister must coincide with the officials who actually worked that year;
• specifications. The coin must correspond to the weight and diameter of that year of minting;
• detailed inspection of the stamp. Minting is a very labor-intensive process; counterfeits are usually cast. Such fakes will have small tubercles, drops of metal on the surface of the workpiece, easily distinguishable with a magnifying glass.

There are, of course, exemplary fakes that can mislead even experts, but such cases are very rare. If such a copy somehow ends up in the collection, do not be upset. A talented fake is also a rarity, which sometimes costs significant money.

The most expensive ten-ruble notes

People who do not understand numismatics often mistake other gold coins of the same denomination, minted in the same period, for the Nikolaev gold chervonets. They can actually cost hundreds of thousands of dollars apiece. But first things first:

1. 10 Rusov. In the first years of the reign of the last Sovereign, Finance Minister Witte tried to radically change the name of the Russian currency. By analogy with the French francs, they chose the name “Rus”. However, this word is not on the coin; instead, there is the inscription “2/3 IMPERIAL” on the reverse. The edge is smooth. On the obverse is a portrait of Nicholas. Five sets were made per sample, but then this idea was abandoned. The cost of the kit averages 400 thousand dollars. But only two can come to market, having gone into personal collections. The other three are in museums. In the Russian Historical Museum, the Hermitage and the American Smithsonian Museum.
2. 10 rubles 1906 The cost of a gold chervonets of 1906 is 100–200 thousand dollars. The reason is simple - only 10 of them were cast on the occasion of the anniversary of Nicholas's coronation. The richest collectors from all over the world compete at leading auctions for the right to own these coins, driving up prices to incredible heights.
3. Imperials. Beginning numismatists often confuse them with ordinary Nikolaev chervonets, although these are completely different monetary units. You can distinguish it by the inscription “IMPERIAL” on the reverse, above the coat of arms. They were minted for 3 years in a row, from 1895 to 1897, with a total circulation of 375 pieces. Imperials were minted according to the “Alexander foot”; they weigh 12.9 grams. The cost of one copy ranges from 30 to 60 thousand rubles.

Profitable investment in royal coins

Like any antique, coins from past centuries only increase in value with the passage of time. According to the dynamics of the exchange rate, it is time to say with confidence that the sale of Nikolaev gold coins can be much more expensive than the cost for which they were purchased.

Buying, as well as selling, royal chervonets is not at all difficult. This is partly true, but you should be prepared for what you will need:

• a substantial amount for the initial purchase of coins;
• excellent knowledge of the history and numismatics of that time and the ability to navigate antiques well.

The authenticity of the royal 10-ruble coin must be confirmed by a special certificate. Among other things, don’t be afraid to ask the seller for the document. In addition, to avoid falling into the hands of scammers, some rules will help. First of all, you should buy royal money exclusively from a seller who has a good reputation. For this purpose, you can register on numismatic forums. There are few responsible sellers; online resources contain data regarding problematic transactions.
