This specimen was lot 72138 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, October 2021), where it sold for $336. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Russia|RUSSIA]]. 5 Kopeks, 1774-EM. Ekaterinburg Mint. Catherine II (the Great). NGC MS-63 Brown. A boldly struck coin, using a somewhat worn obverse die. The surfaces exhibit a pleasing silky luster, and a dark brown to charcoal patina." This type was struck 1781-96 in the Kolyvan mint for circulation in Russia during the reign of Catherine the Great. Over a billion were issued between the Annensk, Moscow, Sestroretsk, Kolyvan, Ekaterinburg and St. Petersburg mints. The mintage noted below consumed 744 metric tons of copper. Many survive today but few in choice condition. Russia has the distinction of being the first country to issue decimal currency, as 100 kopeks = one ruble.

''Recorded mintage:'' 14,535,000.

''Specification:'' 51.2 g, copper.

''Catalog reference:'' KM-C59.3; Bit-623a.
