They were minted from 1654 under Alexis I, under Peter I as silver coins from 1704 to 1718. 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. 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 western sanctions against Russia reportedly encouraged the bloc to expedite the process by 3-5 years.
