Catherine I (ruled 1725–1727), ‘mourning rouble’
Catherine I (ruled 1725–1727) was the rst woman to rule Imperial Russia, and opened the way for a century almost entirely
dominated by female rulers: Anna Ivanovna (ruled 1730–1740), Elizabeth Petrovna (ruled 1741–1761) and Catherine the Great
(ruled 1762–1796).
A peasant woman of Baltic origin, in 1702 Martha Skavronskaya (the future Catherine I) was captured by Russian forces and became
the mistress of the Russian soldier and administrator Aleksandr Danilovich Menshikov. It was through Menshikov that Martha came
into contact with Tzar Peter the Great, who subsequently took her as his own mistress. Aer her conversion from the Lutheran to the
Orthodox Church (at which point she changed her name from Martha to Catherine), she married Peter I (the Great] in 1712. Just
over a decade later (in May 1724) a lavish ceremony was held in the Moscow Kremlin where Catherine I was crowned empress-consort.
When Peter I died in 1725 without naming a successor, Menshikov and the imperial guards raised Catherine I to the throne.
Although Catherine only served as Empress of Russia for two years (before her own death in 1727), during this period she issued
several types of rouble coin. e rouble of 1725 in which the empress is shown in common clothes, without the usual regalia, is
colloquially known as the ‘mourning rouble’. is coin is said to have been struck just aer the death of Peter the Great, and Catherine I
is portrayed in uncharacteristically plain attire as a sign of mourning.
