1796, 1/2 kopecks (denga), Novodels, Catherine II (1762-1796), Copper

Cipher Denga 1796 overstruck on Anna?s polushka. The host coin is clearly visible on both sides, even the nomination POLU? over EHb.Taking into consideration the ornament edge, partially visible under cord edge, the polushka was struck over cross kopeck of Peter II between 1730-1735. Of course, this is Novodel, like most Cipher coins are, because it was not struck with the original dies. However it is a decent looking die and the whole coin looks like the original could have looked.
