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  ;)

Jochen:
Thanks again!
