<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zantetsuken, post: 743389, member: 21665&quot;]This section will deal with coins from the PRINCIPALITY OF MOLDAVIA &amp; WALLACHIA. Moldavia &amp; Wallachia had become vassals of the Ottoman Empire in 15th century, however by mid 1700&#039;s, Ottoman power had greatly diminished. As a result, Russian influence started to grow, and had occupied the region in 1739, 1769-74, and 1788-1791. The Russo-Turkish war broke out in 1768 and during this period, a special coinage was introduced. Between 1771 and 1774, coins were struck from the captured Turkish cannons at the mint in SADAGURA (now a municipality in Ukraine). Because of this, these are often called &#039;Sadagura Coins&#039; by numismatists. The coins came in two denominations, 1 Para/3 Dengi and 2 Para/3 Kopek with varities for both coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/samuraisedge/MoldaviaWallachia1Para3Dengi1772.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i><b>MOLDAVIA &amp; WALLACHIA (PRINCIPALITY)~1 Para/3 Dengi 1772 &lt;Large Crown&gt;</b></i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/samuraisedge/MoldaviaWallachia2Para3Kopek1773-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i><b>MOLDAVIA &amp; WALLACHIA (PRINCIPALITY)~2 Para/3 Kopek 1773</b></i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
