France, Russian, 1827 - 1844: 'Platinum Rouble' Rate

The Platinum coinage in Russia provided a coherent valuation, even if it quickly proved overvalued and likely destabilized the open market for a time.

The cause for the depreciation of Platinum Mony comes first from the depreciation of the metal itself, and its standard of monetary use, but also that, from the outset, it was taxed on a basis that was entirely wrong and too high.
