<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 8139862, member: 12789&quot;]FWIW the Chervonetz or 10 ruble has a reported mintage of 50K coins.&nbsp; That is indeed a small mintage.&nbsp; However, in the 1920s when the Soviet Union was reopening to foreign trade they could not get Europeans to accept payment in the new Soviet 10 ruble coins that were first minted in 1923-1925 so they resorted to restriking the 1911 dated coins which Goznak still had the original hubs from to make the dies.&nbsp; How many they struck is not reported but the actual number of 1911 dated coins is much higher than the reported mintage is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
