Found kinda answer. The coin is Novodel which means its official old reproduction of previously existing coin in Tsar Russia. Now the last thing I wonder is if these are authentic.
I don't know anything about this. But if it is a 5 figure coin on sale for $2000 then something is not right, and I would be suspicious/skeptical until proven wrong. There are ancient/ world coin experts here that can tell you if it is counterfeit. Be patient the answers will come.
Just learned-1710 Novodel did not exist according to Krause. Supicious. This item is in ebay for 2700 dollars.
People use the word "novodel" deceptively to describe fakes. A novodel is an official government production. Pieces like the one posted here are not.
The reason I wonder about this coin is that I have seen the similar coin in Azerbaijan. It is 23mm and weight 3.5 qrams. Feels like struck and its reverse is quite same with this coin but the obverse is different. I am curious what is going on. Here are the pics of the coin I have had in my hand. Do you think forgers can make such a beautiful coin?
Novodel is just a way counterfeiters think they can get away describing their coins are "replicas". Novodels are actually genuine reproduction (with some minor modification) from the Russian mints. There was a time when rich collectors could order any old coins as novodels for their collection but that came to a halt in late 1800s. Just because a coin is a novodel does NOT mean that it is cheap. They are generally made for collectors who had the money. The only exception of the Soviet ruble novodels which are definitely a lot more affordable.
Thank you for the clearer information. Do you think it is considered some kind of fantasy coin then? because the obverse does not match with anything else- Peter looks too young and the letter G is missing in the left corner. BTW you have great Russian coin collection.
I haven't bothered to look up too much about this particular coin as I know early Peter I gold coins are excessively rare. This I believe is easily a 5 figure if not 6 coin unless it's in damaged condition. In the last decade or so, Eastern Europe is home to some of the largest counterfeit syndicate in particular Belarus, Bulgaria where counterfeits are not taken as seriously as other countries. In fact, I believe there was a company in Belarus that proudly boasted it's replica capability business and paid taxes to the government! The golden era of collecting Russian coins at a 'reasonable' price is gone by a good decade. That's when I acquired most of my collection...
