Copper Riot coin
« on: June 15, 2009, 04:25:36 pm »
In the article on the Russian Copper Riot of 1662, Wikipedia mentions mass production of counterfeit copper in addition to the official coinage (sufficiently junky to cause the riot).  Can anyone tell me how to separate the official from the unofficial coins of this period?  This one is badly double struck but has a decent horse head in the die.  Links to photos of others would be appreciated.

Thank you very much for the reference.  I didn't know that these works were in English.
