<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lecollectionneur, post: 422676, member: 8569&quot;]I&#039;ve read that the term zolotnik was an ancient coin, the value in grams for the zoltnik used as a quantity is 4.2658 <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gram" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gram" rel="nofollow">grams</a>.</p><p>So long as I know used for silver or goldsmithing, it is the ancient russian unit of mesure(a word from gold, zoloto), and it&#039;s a weight for 1/96 carat, then it&#039;s calculated as a 96th part of the total mass, 84 zolotniki gives 875/1000, it interess me if the coin signification can be explained.</p><p>This cheroot case is made in the manner of G. Klingert who use very often this pattern in cigarette or cheroot cases.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
