Even under Elizabeth Petrovna, by a decree of November 12, 1755, the issue of ten and five rubles began. The coins are printed from 88/96 gold. The coat of arms is a composition in the form of a cross made up of the coats of arms — Moscow, Kazan, Siberian and Astrakhan, with the Russian coat of arms in the center. Due to the presence of the reverse side of the word "imperial" in the inscription, ten - ruble coins were called "imperials", and five-ruble coins were called "semi-imperials".
