2067
2067 Contemporary ‘Swedish’ Counterfeit 5 Kopecks 1727. 17.63 gm. On this fasci-
nating piece, the pseudo-Cyrillic legends are completely blundered and nonsensical.
The crosses are missing from the crowns and the mint letters have been rendered
as two triangles. Even the date is barbarous, which would lead one to believe that
the engraver was either completely illiterate (not just illiterate in Russian) or
wanted the date to be deliberately obscure. That being said, the weight is within
overall range, while the edging is well done. A highly illustrative example of a
profiteer’s contemporary Pyatak copy
Good very fine
