caption_attribution_description: Русский: Серебряный алтын (1711) - старинная русская мелкая монета, которая чеканилась при Петре I с 1704 по 1718 гг.English: Silver altyn (1711) - an old Russian small coin that was minted in the reign of Peter I the Great between 1704 and 1718.
context_page_description: Altyn is a historical Russian currency. The name in Tatar is altı meaning "six", since it was worth 6 dengas, equivalent to three kopek silver, then copper, a small value coin, or 180–206 copper puls.
  From the 15th century, altyn had been in use in several Russian principalities as a Eurasian currency between Russian and Asian traders. They were minted from 1654 under Alexis I, under Peter I as silver coins from 1704 to 1718. Later they were revived under Nicholas I as copper coins with a value of three kopeks from 1839. While the name altyn eventually got lost, three-kopek-coins circulated in Russia until 1991.
  In the 2010s, the Eurasian Economic Commission drafted first proposals to revive the altyn once again by 2025 as a common currency of the Eurasian Economic Union, although western sanctions against Russia reportedly urged the block to expedite the process by 3-5 years.
