The regions of Estonia and Livonia, after their conquest by the Russian Empire from the Swedes, were encouraged to adopt their new overlord’s currency, but instead continued to use the Thaler-based system from before their annexation. To keep them supplied with such coinage, Russia began to mint the ‘Livonese’ which was to all extents equal to the Thaler. The difficulty of transporting the coins to this area, and the flawed calculations that meant the Livonese was made to be equal to 96 Kopeck, when it should have been 109, meant that the run of Livonese coins was short-lived, and so foreign coins dominated the Estonian and Livonian markets until their banning in 1846.

This rare rouble is not listed in Bitkin’s monumental work, as those coins minted under Constantine Butenev (initials KB) should apparently show a smaller crown between the end of the wreath than those issued under Pavel Alekseev (initials ПA). However, the reverse of the present coin appears to have a crown of the same size as that of the illustration Bitkin provides for comparison.
