Типы русских монет от Ивана Грозного до Петра Великого с указанием цен

The material is presented in chronological order with the division of ng reigns. All coins issued under one ruler are grouped by denominations, first the most used kopecks, money and polushki, then auxiliary - gold, altyn and groszy. Of the large denominations in the catalog included only those that were issued to enter into monetary circulation: gold with the name of Vladislav Zhigimontovich and Vasily Ivanovich, copper altyns and pennies. Coins of the same denomination are divided into groups, each of which represents the production of a particular mint. The basic information - ruler, denomination, place of minting for state coins and generalizing name for counterfeit ones - is given in the title of each section and, if necessary, repeated at the top of the subsequent page. It should be noted that the catalog is neither a definer nor a scientific historical work. To identify specific coins or to study the history of minting and circulation, it is suggested to use the literature mentioned at the beginning of the preface.
