Russian Coins and Historical Medals. A Curious Trio of Coppers with Segments of obverse Mintmarks. 5 Kopecks 1802 ‘M’-EM. 49.26 gm. As Bit 283. Below the eagle’s left tailfeathers is a raised “M” corresponding to a retrograde of the reverse mm “M.” Its left leg is broken by the braided circle struck over. A raised retrograde “2” (corresponding to the reverse date “2”) and a raised segment of the reverse bar are seen beneath the obverse eagle. Possibly a combination of an overstrike and a clashed die. Very interesting and worth additional research Good very fine
