What do we pay for a Gold Chervonets (10 roubles)?
Based on the gold rate of this moment, €113.05 per gram of fine material. As of:
| Variant | Fine gold | Total weight | We pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 roubles | 7.742 g | 8.6 g | €875.28 |
This price applies regardless of the year and the mint. With a rare year or exceptional condition the collector’s value can be higher than the material value – then we say so, even if that means you are better off not selling us the coin.
How we arrive at this amount
A coin is precious metal in a recognisable shape. What it fetches therefore depends almost entirely on the fine weight: the weight of pure gold it contains.
This coin is 900‰ (21.6 carat) pure. The rest of the alloy – usually copper – makes it harder and scratch-resistant, but has no value. That is why we calculate on the fine weight and not on what the scales say.
Not sure whether your coin is genuine? We check weight, diameter, thickness and – if in doubt – the density with X-ray analysis. Non-destructive: your coin stays intact.

Questions about selling Gold Chervonets (10 roubles)
How much gold is in a Chervonets?
The coin weighs 8.6026 grams at 900 fine, which leaves 7.74234 grams of pure gold. We settle on that fine weight against the gold rate of the moment, and the copper in the alloy carries no value of its own.
What is the sower on the coin?
A figure of a peasant sowing grain, designed in 1923 for the new Soviet gold coinage. It gave the coin its nickname in the trade, and it is the quickest way to tell a Soviet chervonets from the tsarist ten-rouble piece.
Are Soviet restrikes worth less than originals?
For the gold value they are the same, since both hold 7.74234 grams of fine gold. The Soviet Union restruck the coin in the late nineteen-seventies, and genuine issues from the nineteen-twenties are far scarcer, so those can carry a collector’s premium.
Is this the same as a tsarist 10 roubles?
The gold standard is the same, but the coins are different: the tsarist piece carries the portrait of Nicholas II rather than the sower. We buy both, value each on its fine weight, and check the year for any collector’s value.
