From a total mintage of only 875 pieces of each metal. The son of Paul I, Alexander was young, energetic and popular, and the first half of his reign was marked by liberal internal policies. Youthful idealism was the order of the day, and the reformer Michael Speransky became a close adviser to the new Czar. By 1812, however, grave problems in Europe began to weigh, and Speransky was ousted by his rivals who saw his reforms as too ambitious for a conservative nation.
