About buying coins

There are a lot of very experienced coin collectors, who chose the fake coins of different countries and peoples as the theme of their collecting. Continue reading

However, in order.
After the death of Anna Ioanovna in 1740, a three-month baby was raised to the Russian throne under the name of John III.
Since Ivan Antonovich couldn’t show any particular political activity at this age, Biron was appointed regent of the empire, and then, as a result of a palace plot, the mother of John Antonovich Anna Leopoldovna. Continue reading
