Catherine II; coin is a 'denga'.
The denga was worth 1/2 kopeck which, in turn, was worth 1/100th of a Russian ruble.
Should look like this:

Believe date to be 1769, but if dated 1759, then it's a denga from the reign of Elilzabeth Petrovna.
Great find.

Agreed. This is the money of the Empress Catherine. We found them a lot. Coin with sable was run in Siberia.
