Altyn (Russian алты́н, also алты́нник) is a historical Russian currency (symbol: 
). The name is Tatar altı, (алты) meaning "six", since it was worth 6 of 1/2 dengas (six halves, Russ. шесть полушек), equivalent to three kopek silver, then copper, a small value coin,[1][2] or 180 — 206 copper puls.[3]
Altyn coins were minted from 1654 under Alexis I, under Peter I as silver coins from 1704 to 1718, and under Nicholas I as copper coins with a value of three kopeks from 1839. Production of three kopek coins was discontinued in 1991.
