The Kokoshnik Marks
In 1896, Tsar Nicholas II (1868-1918) issued an edict that reformed this old system and the Kokoshnik mark came into being as the new assayer's mark. As thousands of new diestamps had to be created, the kokoshnik did not come into full use until early 1899.
Until 1908, the mark consisted of a left facing woman's head in profile within an oval cartouche, she is wearing the peasant headdress traditionally referred to as a kokoshnik. To her left is the standard number and to her right are the assayer's initials which also indicate the assay office. The delineation within the oval is rendered in intaglio.
From 1908, her profile is facing right with standard number to her right, to her left is a small Greek letter that indicates the city or region of assay. The delineation within the oval is rendered in relief.
