Nikolaus I. of Russia

[Jochen]

Hi to all with Russian knowledge!

Here are 2 other not ancient coins I have questions about:
(The kyrillic letters I have transcribed to latin letters!)

1. 5 Rubel gold, Nikolaus I., 1836. Obv. shows:
    tschistago zolota i zolotnik 39 dolci

2. 5 Rubel gold, Alexander III., 1889. Obv. shows:
    imperator i samodermets wserossinskie

Anyone there who can translate this Russian legends?

Regards,
Jochen

(These are the last not ancient coins I post, I promise!)

About the fisrt coin it's 1 zolotn(ik) and 39 doljei [it's not a c but je]
It is referred to the weight of the coins

1zolotnik = 4.27 grams
1 zolotnik = 96 doljei

Indeed the coin weight is 6.544 grams, 0.917 of gold. So the bullion is exactly 1 zolotnik and 39 doljei

Thanks again!

Hi Jochen,

tschistago zolota  - pure gold.

imperator i samodermets wserossinskie - Emperor and Lord of all Russia.

I think it is better that in latin letters words should look like this:

"zamodershavech vserossiskije"  -  "Autocrat of all Russia"  

otherwise your "samodermets" (PLS. DO NOT SAY IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TO ANY RUSSIAN!)  
zamo + dermo = self + stuff   (zamodermets = smbd. who can be stuff or who is personal stuff)

[corvus]

OK seems we have here self-acting "cleaning" program and some words you can not use - but I did not mean word STUFF but word   S.H.I.T.  and I'm sorry if somebody feels now offenced

once again:
zamo + dermo = self + s.h.i.t. (zamodermets = smbd. who can be s.h.i.t. or who is personal s.h.i.t.)

thank you

[Jochen]

Thanks God, that I never visit Russia to ask these questions!

Thanks,
Jochen

Corvus, you are mixing the words. "Äåðæàò" in Russian is the verb "to hold", so autocrat is a good and accurate translation. "Äåðìî" is the smelly word you are mentioning but it has nothing to do with the verb  

[Optimus]

Hm, forgot that the system does not support Cyrillic. The verb is "derzhat", to hold

[Optimus]

And, of course, the word is "samoderzhets", not samodermets. The confusion comes from the elaborated script on the chervonets (the gold coin)
