<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 1978785, member: 31533&quot;]Can&#039;t really help you i.d. it...perhaps others who are more familiar with Russian stuff could. But it seems it says Pavlo Mockobckoi on this (the first letter is the russian p). I think it strange it has a v in Pavlo instead of a b like it does on Mockobckoi. There wasn&#039;t a Pavlo (ruler) in Russia who could have put this out prior to Peter the Great, for this to be a &#039;real&#039; wire money. Because it seems Peter was the one who abolished actual wire money, and wire money was silver before that. But there was a ruler of Russia named Paul (Pavel, anglicised) a son of Peter, ruling for 5 years from 1796-1801. This is after Peter&#039;s reign, so there should be no official wire money from this time, but could this be some sort of copy-cat type put out contemporaneous to this? Or a later piece to imitate the wire money. That might explain why it is in bronze and not silver. But I don&#039;t know for sure. Just an idea to toss out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
