Russian Beard Tax coin

thingiverse

This is a Russian Beard tax coin, something I made for my AP world history teacher as an ornament for an extra credit assignment. We learned about it in class like a month before, and I thought it was super interesting, and promised to print one. I couldn't find a model on the internet, so I made it (NOT the actual size) and printed it. Basically, people with a beard would have to carry this around to show officials that they had paid their beard tax. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beard_tax
