1773, 1776, 1783 Russia 5 Kopeks Catherine the Great 3-Coin Set VF

The American Colonists’ Russian Ally

When it comes to classic coins, few are as impressive as the Five Kopeks coin of Russia’s famous empress, Catherine the Great. During her reign, she was considered the most powerful woman in the world. No other female ruler controlled as much territory or as many subjects. And so, it’s only fitting that she would issue the largest copper coin ever used in circulation, featuring the iconic two-headed Russian eagle.

Struck during the American Revolution, these coins represented an unusual ally to the American colonists. Time and time again, Catherine ignored requests for assistance from England’s King George III, a man she detested. Had she answered Great Britain’s overtures of cooperation in quelling the rebellious colonists in America, the United States of America may never have come into existence!

You can secure a three-piece set consisting of key-date coins that mark historic milestones in America’s fight for independence. Each coin comes in Very Fine (VF) condition and are between 40 and 44 mm in diameter. The coins include:

1773—the year of the Boston Tea Party

1776—the year of Declaration of Independence

1783—the year the Treaty of Paris was signed, officially ending the Revolutionary War

These impressive coins are significant in their own right simply for the noteworthy woman who they represent, but their connection to America’s fight for independence makes them an intensely intriguing addition to any collection.
