The focus of the publication is the domestic currency circulation of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The book consists of 18 essays, in the writing of which the author used little-known sources, including archival ones. The book covers an extensive historical period of Russian history and reflects phenomena that are known to few today, telling about individuals who played a significant role in the creation of banks and money in Russia. Among other topics are important milestones such as the introduction of paper money and the activities of the first emission bank in Russia, the circulation of platinum and billon coins, the introduction of the 'gold standard', the use of Russian currency abroad, external loans provided by the Russian Empire, meliorative credit, and currency circulation during the years of the First World War.
The illustrations in the book are of particular value, including images of rare coins and banknotes, rare photographs of ancient documents, portraits of financial and banking figures provided by both private collectors and major archival repositories in the country.
This book is for those interested in the history of domestic money and banks. We hope that it will find its reader not only among specialists, collectors, and enthusiasts, but also in academic and teaching environments. After all, the rich historical experience described in it always remains relevant, despite the changing times.
