"Beard token"-the Russian beard tax certificate in the 17th century. People from that era must show a beard token to prove that they were allowed to keep their beard.
Recently, I finally got one as a small decoration for shave den; most of the information does not mention the size, but it is actually smaller than expected.
Due to the love of some hobbyists in the past few years, the imitation of beard tokens on the market is difficult to distinguish, so unless you want to speculate on the price, you don't have to deliberately look for the genuine product.
This time, the official copy issued by the Smithsonian Institution in the United States in 2019 is also meaningful; the front is faithfully copied from the collection of the beard token, and the Cyrillic number on the back of the tax collection date is changed to "2019 "And stamped with the Smithsonian logo.
