1818 Russia 1 Poltina silver – Alexander I – double-headed eagle – rare coin

"1 poltina Russia 1818"

Russian 1818 half rouble in silver. Alexander I. Rare historical coin.

Ah, the 1818 Poltina — the way the Russian Empire said “I love you” in solid silver. Struck under Alexander I, this half‑rouble is older than most revolutions and probably more stable than some modern economies. Its double‑headed eagle? An imperial symbol staring simultaneously at glory and at debt. Its edge? Engraved like the secrets of a paranoid tsar. And its weight? Heavy enough to punch a hole in your pocket… or in history. Owning this coin is like adopting a 19th‑century fiscal ghost. It won’t pay your rent, but it will judge you silently from its box. A must‑have for collectors, numismatists, and lovers of historical sarcasm.
