[QUOTE="Tejas, post: 6315000, member: 84905"]Hi John, I cannot say whether your coin is a Novodel or whether it was minted in the period, i.e. the late 17th century. This whole issue of Novodels is kind of beyond me. In any case, Novodels are not worthless fakes. They were produced by the state mint and are part of Russian numismatic history. Your coin is in any case highly desirable. The gold kopecks are not really coins (i.e. not made for the purpose of making payments), but awards for military achievements. Real gold coins were introduced in the middle of the 17th century in the form of Chervonzy or Ugorskiy (and there fractions). These coins are indeed extremely rare and expensive.
