The museum of the International Numismatic Club has been replenished with a rare gold coin

The museum of the International Numismatic Club has been replenished with the rarest gold coin from the time of Catherine the Great — 10 rubles in 1765. Bogdan Berkovsky, a senior expert at the museum, told Izvestia about this.

According to him, the coin was probably minted in Konigsberg on behalf of the Prussian Emperor Frederick II after the Seven Years' War, when Prussia paid Russia with allied obligations.

"Friedrich paid with allied commitments, that is, he literally pledged to provide some financial resources in favor of Russia to pay for the campaign against Turkey. And, most likely, it was for these purposes that a trial issue of such coins was carried out. Only two such coins were known in the world," Berkovsky said.

The expert noted that one of the two coins from the collection of Grand Duke George Mikhailovich had a hole, and the second was in excellent condition.
