Red Mint Bitkin 797 1+ 30 000 Peter the Great (ruled 1682–1725) and the first decimal coinage The reign of Peter I (the Great) is generally regarded as a watershed in Russian history, noted for a programme of extensive military, civil and social reforms that transformed Russia from an isolated agricultural society into a major European power. Early in his career, Peter toured Europe (sometimes in disguise) and educated himself in Western culture and science, as well as naval and military techniques. On his return to Russia he set about ‘modernizing’ or ‘westernizing’ the country, as well as extending its boundaries through a number of military campaigns. In 1703, during the Great Northern War with Sweden, Peter captured land on the Baltic Sea, where he founded his new capital, St Petersburg. This modern city, built in Western style, was intended to become the centre of new Russia just as Moscow had been the centre of old. The monetary system of Russia also changed dramatically as part of Peter the Great’s extensive reforms. In 1700 the czar decreed a decimal coinage system for Russia – the first in history – with 100 kopeks equal to one rouble. The first (copper) kopek and (silver) rouble coins under the new system appeared in 1704. As well as introducing a decimal coinage, Peter I also banned the use of foreign coins in Russia. Moreover, in order to ensure a standard size and weight for the new Russian coins, the czar ordered that coins should no longer be minted by hand, but should be machine-struck. To this end, a new mint was constructed in Moscow in 1711. In 1719 the mint organization and machinery were transferred to Peter’s new capital in St Petersburg. 1022 1023 1022 Rubel 1705.

St.Petersburg Mint (“Sørge-rubel/Mourning rouble”) Bitkin 69 1+ 60 000 Catherine I (ruled 1725–1727), ‘mourning rouble’ Catherine I (ruled 1725–1727) was the first woman to rule Imperial Russia, and opened the way for a century almost entirely dominated by female rulers: Anna Ivanovna (ruled 1730–1740), Elizabeth Petrovna (ruled 1741–1761) and Catherine the Great (ruled 1762–1796). A peasant woman of Baltic origin, in 1702 Martha Skavronskaya (the future Catherine I) was captured by Russian forces and became the mistress of the Russian soldier and administrator Aleksandr Danilovich Menshikov. It was through Menshikov that Martha came into contact with Tzar Peter the Great, who subsequently took her as his own mistress. After her conversion from theL utheran to the Orthodox Church (at which point she changed her name from Martha to Catherine), she married Peter I (the Great] in 1712. Just over a decade later (in May 1724) a lavish ceremony was held in the Moscow Kremlin where Catherine I was crowned empress-consort. When Peter I died in 1725 without naming a successor, Menshikov and the imperial guards raised Catherine I to the throne. Although Catherine only served as Empress of Russia for two years (before her own death in 1727), during this period she issued several types of rouble coin. The rouble of 1725 in which the empress is shown in common clothes, without the usual regalia, is colloquially known as the ‘mourning rouble’. This coin is said to have been struck just after the death of Peter the Great, and Catherine I is portrayed in uncharacteristically plain attire as a sign of mourning. 1041 1042 1041 Rubel 1726.
