Stalin's "Death Sentence" Coins Historic Russian 4 Silver Coin Set,Boxed With Story & Certificate.This set of 4 silver coins were the last circulating silver coins struck in the Ussr, due to communist party boss Joseph Stalin’s purging and shooting people in order to motivate the collecting of silver coins.Joseph Stalin (1878-1953) is arguably the most prolific mass murderer in history. As many as 30 million people in the former Soviet Union died as a result of his brutality. Historians recently discovered a copy of his orders to execute innocent cashiers to further his goal of confiscating and melting all circulating silver coins. Stalin decided that all hard-currency silver coins in circulation would be replaced by base-metal copper/nickel coins. To motivate the collectors, he went to his get-to strategy for problem solving: mass murder. “The results of the battle against the coin shortage are almost nonexistent, Definitely shoot two or three dozen from these [bureaucracies], including several dozen common cashiers; c) continue [Secret Police] operations throughout the USSR that are aimed at seizing” the silver. Stalin’s cold-blooded strategy worked. These coins are among the few, rare survivors of this period. The Soviets never again issued a circulating silver coin. COINS: Tsarist regime, 1867-1917.
