Recently, the numismatic market has seen an increase in the number of copies and forgeries that dishonest sellers pass off as originals. Counterfeits of the 1901 ten-ruble coin are particularly common, so special vigilance should be exercised when handling it.

The modern antique market is flooded with fake items. This problem has become particularly acute after a more than 15-year epidemic of counterfeit rare silver coins of the Russian Empire. When the demand for fake coins dropped, their manufacturers switched to producing counterfeit tsarist spoons with 84 zolotnik hallmarks.
