<p>[QUOTE="MIGuy, post: 8659015, member: 116145"]1533-84 Russian Denga, Ivan IV Vasilyevich VF-30 - $40 and 1613-45 Russian Kopek Mikhail Feodorovich Au Details $26. Not much into Russian stuff these days but these old coins caught my fancy. Ivan the 4th Vasilyevich is remembered by history as "Ivan the Terrible". During his youth (he became emperor at age 16), there was a conquest of the khanates of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khanate_of_Kazan" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khanate_of_Kazan" rel="nofollow">Kazan</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khanate_of_Astrakhan" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khanate_of_Astrakhan" rel="nofollow">Astrakhan</a>. After he had consolidated his power, Ivan rid himself of the advisers from the "Chosen Council" and triggered the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livonian_War" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livonian_War" rel="nofollow">Livonian War</a>, which ravaged Russia and resulted in the loss of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livonia" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livonia" rel="nofollow">Livonia</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingria" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingria" rel="nofollow">Ingria</a> but allowed him to establish greater <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocratic" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocratic" rel="nofollow">autocratic</a> control over <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia%27s_nobility" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia%27s_nobility" rel="nofollow">Russia's nobility</a>, which he violently purged with the <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oprichnina" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oprichnina" rel="nofollow">Oprichnina</a></i>. The later years of Ivan's reign were marked by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacre_of_Novgorod" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacre_of_Novgorod" rel="nofollow">Massacre of Novgorod</a> and the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Crimean_Wars#Russo%E2%80%93Crimean_War_(1570%E2%80%931572)" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Crimean_Wars#Russo%E2%80%93Crimean_War_(1570%E2%80%931572)" rel="nofollow">burning of Moscow by Tatars</a>. He also murdered his oldest son and heir. Not a very nice fellow. The second coin features Michael I - the first Romanov - During his reign, Russia <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_conquest_of_Siberia" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_conquest_of_Siberia" rel="nofollow">conquered most of Siberia</a> with the help of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cossack" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cossack" rel="nofollow">Cossacks</a> and the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroganov_family" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroganov_family" rel="nofollow">Stroganov family</a>.
