Preface
To the dedicated numismatist, possession of a rare coin gives the same pleasure be the
metal platinum, gold, silver, copper, or nickel. In the field of Russian numismatics, it is the
copper coins that have so far not been given the attention they so richly deserve. The copper
story is quite as interesting and diverse as the gold and silver or the platinum, especially as
they certainly must have provided the overwhelming part of the money in circulation for the
ordinary Russian during the Czarist period 1700—1917. It is the aim of this catalogue to
lend balance to the numismatic literature of this period of Russian history available to the
Western numismatist.
A special thanks goes to Randolph Zander, the foremost numismatist in this field outside
the Soviet Union, for his stern criticisms of some of the more difficult periods and his supreme
knowledge of the post-war market for Russian coins. Robert Julian has contributed to the
Nicholas II series. Specific questions directed to the Hermitage Museum in Leningrad,
U.S.S.R., were most kindly and fully answered by the curator Dr. I. G. Spassky. The editing of
Mrs. Marsha Hunt of Quarterman Publications Inc. has greatly contributed to a clear
presentation of this complex subject. I must also acknowledge the fine photographic assistance
of Messrs. Larry Stevens and Bud Waltz. The assistance of Mr. Bernth Ahlstroem of Galerie
des Monnaies has been invaluable for this production.
It is my hope that the present work will stimulate existing collectors and perhaps open up
this interesting field for others. The author will be very glad to hear from collectors regarding
varieties not mentioned here.
