Commentary
Il s’agit ici de l’essai de la 3 kopecks 1840 avec la marque de l’atelier de Saint-Petersbourt “CПБ”. La frappe courante qui commence en 1840 comporte des marques d’ateliers différentes, soit “EM” soit “CПM”. La frappe est de très grande qualité, effectuée avec des coins tout neufs sur des flans polis ce qui donnent l’aspect si particulier de ces frappes d’essai.
