During her reign, various coins were minted, including silver rouble coins. Here are some key points about the rouble silver coins of Anna Ioannovna: Silver Rouble: The rouble was the primary unit of currency in Russia, and silver roubles were an important denomination during Anna Ioannovna's reign. The rouble was traditionally a large silver coin. Portrait: The obverse of the silver roubles typically featured a portrait of Anna Ioannovna. The design of the portrait and the style could vary based on the engraver and the specific issues. Cyrillic Inscriptions: Like other Russian coins of the time, Anna Ioannovna's silver roubles featured inscriptions in Cyrillic script. These inscriptions would typically include the ruler's title, name, and other relevant details. Double-Headed Eagle: The reverse of the coins often featured the double-headed eagle, a traditional symbol of the Russian Empire. The eagle held a scepter and orb, symbolizing imperial power. Denominations: In addition to the rouble, smaller denominations of silver coins were also minted during Anna Ioannovna's reign. These could include half-roubles (50 kopeks) and quarter-roubles (25 kopeks). Mint Marks: Coins often carried mint marks indicating the location where they were minted. Different mints across the Russian Empire produced coins, and mint marks help identify the origin. Rarities and Varieties: As with any historical coinage, there can be rarities and varieties based on the year of minting, specific mint locations, and any changes in design during Anna Ioannovna's reign.
