Usually on silver coins, enameling of this fineness is found more rarely on gold coins, such as the one presented by Millon Belgium. The representations were typically coats of arms, floral motifs and past rulers. 1768 yellow gold 10 ruble coin with the crowned bust of Catherine II of Russia to the right.
