    In 1654 during the monetary reform of Alexis for the first time in Russian history have been put into circulation the silver ruble coins (denominated efimki ") , perechekanennye of thalers. [2] Weighted norm Taler at the time was about a third less weight 100 silver kopecks , so the rate of circulation of the new coin was forcibly inflated. This caused an outflow from the treatment better small silver coin, so chasing the "ruble Efimka was soon abandoned, and instead issued were issued thalers countermarked two stamps - round with a rider with a spear (the same image on the obverse of a penny) and square with the date" 1655 . These coins, known as "efimki with a sign" had a more equitable rate of 64 kopecks, and remained in the official circulation until 1659 , after which they were seized by the treasury and used for striking small silver coin.

    Efimok - Russian title Western Silver Taler .
    The name "efimok" comes from the names of the first thaler minted in Yoahimstal in Bohemia (now - Jáchymov in the Czech Republic ) - Yoahimstaler (Joachimsthaler). These coins in large quantities were exported to Russia since the XVI century and were used as raw material for minting their own silver coins .
    The word "efimok" refers to all talerovye coins high samples weighing from 28 to 32 grams, but some of their types existed a special name. For example, Talers city of Lübeck and similar called "lyubskimi efimki" , Dutch riksdaaldery called by analogy the "new lyubskimi efimki" ; Netherlands Patagonia with Burgundy Cross - "kryzhovye" or "ryalskie" ; Swedish Dallaire , some of which depicted the king and bareheaded, called "Pleshivtsev" , Danish Dallaire with the figure of the King to his full height and one foot, covered with a shield stamp, called "edinonogami" .
