定義

• A former Russian coin, the quarter of the Denga (q.v.). Originally it was struck in silver, but the later issues are of copper. The Poluschki first ap- peared under Peter the Great from about the year 1700, and continued in use during the eighteenth century. Catherine II struck varieties for special use in Siberia.

  The name is traceable to the early Rus- sian custom of using skins as money, and is derived from potu, the half of any article, and schkura, a skin. Two Po- luschki represented the value of one hare skin.
