The signs of the coin court on the coins of Russia allow you to accurately determine where such a coin was minted. Since the time of the Soviet Union, two mint courtyards existed in Russia - Moscow and Leningradsky, who later became St. Petersburg.
In Moscow, the mint appeared back in 1534. And in 1724, the decree of Peter I opens a mint and in St. Petersburg, which was also the only one for some time, since Moscow did not function from 1826 to 1942.
Now in Russia there are two mint courtyards. The designation on the coins is mined in the form of monograms: MMD and SPMD.
Mint Signs in the USSR
The first sign of the coin court appeared on the back of 1 ruble, which was released in 1975, in honor of the 40th anniversary of the victory. It was a LDM mark, which treated Leningrad. In 1977, in addition to LDM, a sign of MMD on Gurt Chervonz was first inflicted. On the exchanged coins, the signs denoting the mint, began to be applied only since 1990.
Signs of coins on coins
In the USSR, liteers L and M, as well as abbreviations LDM, MMD were applied for 1992-1993. On the ruble of 1992 there are three different versions of the mint of the mint - MMD, L and M.
To determine the coin court, there will be a magnifying glass. In some cases, if the state of the coin is already bad, the scanner and the camera can be useful. But in most cases there is quite enough magnifying glass. Sometimes see the emblem of the coin court is quite difficult.
Mint's emblem in modern Russia
So how to determine the mint on modern coins in Russia? On the penny coins, they are displayed in the form of M and C-P on the obverse under the front hooves of the horse. On some coins, the Moscow coast stamp looks more, which also corresponds to reality.
The usual familiar coins that are common in the circulation have the signs of mint courts located on an obverse of coins under the eagle's paw. At the same time, the monetary vensels usually have a standard form, nevertheless there may also have many varieties. Sometimes a mint can be determined by Hurtle coins. Money, minted on, have inscriptions more rounded form than those that minted St. Petersburg Mint.
On the anniversary coins, depending on the nominal, the sign of the coin court may stand in different places. On the reverse coins in dignity in 2 rubles and 5 rubles, the emblem is located between the curls of the branches on the right side. In the central part of the reverse directly under the face value, it stands on a 10-rubles. And on the rest with brass coating - near the year of release.
There are also such coins on which the sign of the coin court is not affixed. This happened due to an error in the manufacture of stamps. Among the numismatists such coins are very valued. 4 such coins are known, two of which are anniversary: \u200b\u200b1 ruble of 1993, minted in honor of the 130th anniversary of Vernadsky; 2 rubles of 2003 - in honor of the 40th anniversary of the flight to space; as well as 5 kopecks 2002 and 2003. An affiliation of coins of the USSR times to a specific coin court can be determined by some features of stamps.
Some numismatu-newcomers underestimate the significance of the sign of the mint of the mint, but in vain. The coin of the same dignity and year of production can be very different in price depending on the presence and absence of this sign, as well as its shape.

History and modernity of Russian monetary courtyards
On the territory of the modern Russian Federation only two mint courtyards work. One works in Moscow, and the second - in St. Petersburg. On modern coins, the name is minted as "" or "". If the products are kept, then they will simply let the letters "M" or "C-P".
There are copies on which there is no indication of origin. The cost of such a marriage increases at times. It is alarming the fact that usually the MMD stamp looks several times more than St. Petersburg. In fact, there is nothing strange in this because it is so it really is.
The first Russian mint was founded in 1534. It happened in the then capital of Moscow at Queen John IV. In St. Petersburg, this institution was founded by Peter I in 1724. Since 1876, the monetary courtyard in St. Petersburg became the only one in the country. Today he is still located in the territory of the Petropavlovsk fortress. In 1921, it was here that the chasing of Soviet coins began. Also in Russia, the Yekaterinburg Mint since 1727 was 1876 from 1727. With the Suzu-Medelvillery, the courtyard worked from 1766 to 1847.
Hi My expensive subscribers. You know, I often draw attention that people throw off coins, do not want to take delivery in the store, especially if it is a trifle. And here are minor money, so lie on the ground or near the counter, and for some reason there are few people who want to raise them from the floor. But most recently, in early childhood, we called the coins, and we were happy with the madly when the parents gave us a trifle, and we fled and fell asleep her in the piggy bank.
But not everyone understands its values, in fact, the coin passes a long way to get to our wallet, so appreciate each of them. Do you like to consider coins? Personally, I like to look for all sorts of different encrypted drawings, dots, logos. Do you know where the coin is indicated by a mint of the courtyard? If yes, write in the comments, it will be very interesting to read your opinion.
I, as always, I will start with the story, but it will not particularly concern our topic, but will raise the issue of money as a whole. I will tell you the parable, which many certainly know.
One old man constantly asked God for money, day and night, night and day he prayed God, about the same thing. Somehow his servants came to God and said: "God, well, give him money to him, well, look, he asks you so much." God replied to these words: "I will give, but let go to work, let it go outside or buy a lottery ticket, as I will give him money if he is sitting at the icon, it does nothing and just asks for money."
Money is not only euros, dollars, rubles or francs, it is coins.
It is said that if you saw the coin and did not take it yourself, it means that you really don't need larger amounts. Thus, according to legend, God checks whether you really need extra funds or not.
Where they produce coins in Russia
St. Petersburg and Moscow are two cities in our huge state where coins produce. How are they produced? The process of their creation takes its start with the study of the layout of the future product. The three-dimensional designer model is several times more than that of a real coin.
A layer of silicone rubber is applied to the finished layer, after its cooling, it is removed and the so-called "negative coin" is obtained. The negative coin is filled with epoxy resin, after it hardens, it turns out "future" eagle and rushk.
The master stamp with the help of the hydraulic press is made by other models ("negatives"), thanks to which working species will be created. Coins are processed, hardening, chromery to increase the service life. These stamps for work allow you to release from 250 thousand to 100 thousand coins (it all depends on the hardness of the alloy, which is part of the moment and their size).
The mint blank is made of professional tape, which is made of metal. As a rule, it looks like a circle. Initially, the lateral side of the coin - Gurt is processed. This happens on a special apparatus that makes notches, and if it is necessary and the logo.
Did you know that 10 ruble coin, during processing heats up to a temperature more than 800 degrees? After processing, the workpiece is cooled and treated with a combination of small metal balls, a ceramic filler and a special chemical. Surfaces are etched with this mixture. After that, the blanks are dried with hot air and ship in a special press for coins, where the stamp is done.
Do you know which sign of the Moscow Mint Mint? If yes, waiting for your answers in the comments.
Modern stamping
The process of stamping modern coin works completely on automatic mode. Her two sides are reproduced at the same time. Coins with defects on the market are not allowed, they can replete again.
I understand that someone occurred to someone that the valuable coins of Russia can be slightly "pulling" during production. But it is completely excluded. As it became known to me, men and women inspect without clothes and carefully check after the end of the shift and at the time of joining work.
Each coin despite its similarity, unique, it is impossible to put it in one row with other representatives. What was the best mint? Maybe the one that was in the USSR, and maybe Leningradsky? I would like to see at least one eye, as it all happens. If you've ever been to such places, I will definitely wait for your photos. It will be very interesting how much costs 50 rubles 1993 the price? I think about it, not one more blog will be written, because the topic of money is an eternal topic.
Finally, I want to say that the coins, like paper money, are worthy of respect, as my grandmother said: "We are someone else's work", so you care about them, and even better start collecting, because, after dozens of years you will sit with your grandchildren, and They will consider a big album with coins. Like the treasures of pirates, the kids will like this!
