Bitkin 28 R1; 15 roubles according to Petrov; 12 roubles according to Ilyin.
Very rare.
Ivan VI Antonovich, the great-grandson of Tsar Ivan V and nephew of Empress Anna Ioannovna, was proclaimed Emperor of Russia in 1740, when he was only two months old. His short and tragic reign lasted less than a year; in November 1741 he was overthrown during the coup that brought Elizabeth Petrovna to power.
The silver roubles of Ivan VI, struck in 1741 at the St. Petersburg Mint, are among the rarest issues of the entire Romanov series. They were minted for only a few months before the new regime ordered all coins bearing his name and portrait to be withdrawn and recoined into roubles of Empress Elizabeth. Surviving specimens are thus extremely limited in number.
Due to their brief production, political significance, and historical pathos, Ivan VI’s roubles occupy a legendary status in Russian numismatics - a symbol of the empire’s most ephemeral reign and a centerpiece of any advanced Imperial collection.
