The Ruble of Vitus Bering and Alexei Chirikov (1736). An antiquarian note.
In the autumn of 1740, in an ostrog (fortress) on the shores of Avacha Bay (in Kamchatka), Vitus Bering was reflecting about the upcoming sailing to the shores of America.
He was distracted from his thoughts by Alexei Chirikov, who came with urgent economic questions.
Vitus Bering opened a chest, which was placed nearby, and gave Chirikov the necessary means.
Such a way the ruble of 1736 passed from the hands of Vitus Bering to the hands of Alexei Chirikov, and then from Chirikov to one of those who remained in Kamchatka.
Some time ago, I acquired the ruble of 1736 by chance.
I believe that it is the Ruble of Vitus Bering and Aleksey Chirikov - I believe just as Heinrich Schliemann believed that the heroes of Homer's works were touching the objects discovered by Schliemann in Greece.
There are circumstances that the Ruble of Bering and Chirikov (as well as the other randomly acquired coins) I am forced to put up for sale.
I will be engaged in the preparation and placement of sale announcement on the Internet ...
Here is the announcement:
'The Ruble of Vitus Bering and Alexei Chirikov (1736). Price 40,000 RUB.
