Altyn (Russian Script error: No such module "Lang"., also Template:Langx) is a historical Russian currency (symbol: File:Altyn.png). The name in Tatar is altın (алтын) meaning "gold",[1] and altı (Script error: No such module "Lang".) meaning "six", since it was worth 6 dengi, equivalent to three kopeck silver, then copper, a small value coin,[2][3] or 180–206 copper puls.[4]
History
From the 14th century, the altyn had been in use in several Russian principalities as a Eurasian currency between Russian and Asian traders.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".

They were minted from 1654 under Alexis I, and under Peter I as silver coins from 1704 to 1718. Peter began minting silver ruble coins in 1704 and made the ruble the first decimal currency; the altyn was equal to three kopecks.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". Later, they were revived under Nicholas I as copper coins with a value of three kopecks from 1839. While the name altyn eventually got lost, three-kopeck coins circulated in Russia until 1991.[5]
In the 2010s, the Eurasian Economic Commission drafted first proposals to revive the altyn once again by 2025 as a common currency of the Eurasian Economic Union, although international sanctions against Russia reportedly encouraged the bloc to expedite the process by 3-5 years.[5] However, as of 2023, the currency had still not been re-introduced.
