This caused an outflow from the treatment better small silver coin, so chasing the &quot;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&quot; 1655 . These coins, known as &quot;efimki with a sign&quot; 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.</p><p>&nbsp;I got the picture from wikimedia for comparing with my coin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
