What is a novodel?
April 17, 2026
To be quite clear: A novodel has nothing to do with the cheap, inexpencive restrikes that were commonly produced in the 1970s. Novodels are something entirely different. They were minted in the 19th century at an official Russian mint using (mostly) original dies and have been popular, high-value collector’s items since the time of their creation. Today, the value of rare Novodels can easily reach the five- and six-figure range.
