In April 1876, the American engineer George Champney of Boston petitioned the Russian Minister of Finance to present his new<br />

technique of die preparation, which included the ability of copying directly from the coin (Champney patented his method in the<br />

U.S. in 1872 and in Great Britain in 1875). By ministerial decree, Champney was allowed to make his presentation at the St.<br />

Petersburg mint. There his technique showed good “promise.” According to the Chief of the St. Petersburg mint (see: Âåë. Êí. Ãåîðãié<br />

Ìèõàèëîâè÷ú «Îïèñàíèiå è Èçîáðàæåíiå Íúêîòîðûõú Ðúäêèõú Ìîíåòú Ìîåãî Ñîáðàíiÿ», pp. 32-34), Champney<br />

conducted his experiment by using the die of the 72 Fineness standard 20 Kopecks. He deliberately selected an unapproved die which<br />

featured a high relief Imperial eagle to show that his new technique could be used with high-relief coinage. He married this to the obverse of<br />

an Italian 1863 20 Lire.<br />

Previous study of this fascinating type was apparently limited to one variety and in some cases based on earlier writing without necessarily<br />

an actual example to study. Hence earlier scholarship may not present a clear picture. In researching these pieces we were presented with<br />

the unique opportunity of comparing two flan varieties of the issue. The two examples presented here were clearly struck on different flans.<br />

The smooth edge type is much thicker and slightly smaller than its reeded edge companion. Bitkin calls this experimental piece a “Trial<br />

striking on a flan of 20 Kopecks.” Comparison shows this to be incorrect as the 20 Kopeck flan of this period was larger than both these<br />

mules and featured distinctly different edging. So it is not a trial striking on a 20 Kopeck flan, but rather a trial striking employing 20<br />

Kopeck dies. It is quite likely that Champney making an important presentation to high-ranking officials at the St. Petersburg mint used<br />

coin blanks that he had brought with him. Clearly after four years of promoting his technique, Champney would have his presentations<br />

down to a science and would have all the “presentation tools” at hand.<br />
