The word “ruble” is derived from the word “rubit” which means “to cut”. In earlier times, ruble was not actually a minted currency; rather it was a measure of value and weight. Other than kopeks, the ruble can also be subdivided into the altyn (3 kopecks), the grivennik (10 kopecks), the polupoltina (25 kopecks), and the poltina (50 kopecks). It was in the year 1704 that the Russian government started issuing silver rubles as Russian currency. 1 ruble was initially valued at 28 gm of silver but in the 1760’s it devalued to 18 gm of silver. Between the years 1756 and 1779, gold coins were issued and between the years 1770 and 1771, copper coins were issued. Assignatsii, which were paper promissory notes were issued between the years1769 and 1849.
