Queen Elizabeth Petronva I of Russia
AV 2 Roubles 1756-СПБ
St. Petersburg Mint

Elizabeth was a disaster as a Czarina. She was full of herself/ even thought she was hot. In reality she was spoiled rotten by her Dad/ Peter I. She got fatter as she aged/ became more autocratic. One of her lovers cheated on her/ so she had both locked into an ice igloo naked in ice cold conditions/ not pretty. Also she has a hate on for Europe's greatest King at the time/ Friedrich II der Grosse. In the end, Friedrich defeated her Russian armies + the French+ the Austrians in the Seven Year's War.

Rudolph II, Holy Roman Emperor
AR Taler
Hall, 1607; mint master Ferdinand Leffler (?)

41 mm, 28.24 g
Davenport 3005, KM 37.1 (var.);
For the attribution, KM 37.1 doesn’t list the year 1607 and the description of the clasp on the shoulder is different, but this seems to be arbitrary; it is remarkable that at the different auctions even the same auction house attributes this coinage differently, probably depending on who is doing the attribution. Given that I don’t have the literature, the most reasonable attribution for this Taler is to use the nearest attribution and add “var.”

The Latin double negation on the reverse “Nec Non” is used for affirmative reinforcement.
