Comments

According to Bitkin's catalogue:
  • Edge 5: Reticulated;
  • Edge 4: ЕКАТИРИНБꙊРСКОГО ☘ ДВОРА ☘, "trefoil-like" sign;
  • Edge 4¹: МОСКОВСКОГО <•> МАНЕТНОГО <•> ДВОРА <•> <•>, horizontal rhombus, with a dot inside;
  • Edge 4²: С.ПЕТЕРБꙊРХСКАГО <> МАНЕТНОГО <> ДВОРА <>, horizontally, rhombus in rhombus;


Due to the re-minting of coins at the Ekaterinburg Mint, some coins used previous coins edges types from the 1 kopeck type of 1755-1757 (#4¹), the 5 kopecks type of 1723-1730 (#4²) on top of the mint's own type (#4). The three types of edge are known for the years 1757, 1758, 1759 and 1760 while 1761 is known with edge #4 only.
