Historical Context
In 1772, Moldova operated under Russian military administration during the Russo-Turkish conflict. Consequently, provisional copper coinage entered circulation to support local trade and stabilize commerce.
The 3 Denga (also known regionally as Para) formed part of this temporary wartime system. As a result, these coins hold strong appeal for collectors of emergency and occupation coinage.
Design Characteristics
The design features bold denomination details and clear dating typical of emergency copper strikes. Although the artistic style remains straightforward, the coin carries substantial historical importance.
Moreover, the surfaces display strong remaining detail, sharp legends, and well-defined elements consistent with Extremely Fine (XF) preservation.
Condition – Extremely Fine (XF)
This example grades XF, retaining sharp central details and strong definition across the devices. Light, even wear appears only on the highest points, while most design elements remain crisp and clear.
Additionally, the coin exhibits attractive natural copper patina, which enhances its authenticity and eye appeal.
Collector Appeal
The 1772 Moldova 3 Denga is highly desirable among collectors of:
- Russo-Turkish War coinage
- Moldavian regional issues
- 18th-century Eastern European copper
- Emergency and transitional currency
Because XF examples are scarce, this piece represents a strong acquisition for serious numismatists seeking quality and historical depth.
Secure this rare 1772 Moldova copper coin today and enrich your collection with a genuine wartime artifact.
