In 1705, Peter the Great, wishing to keep up with the styles in Europe, imposed a beard tax upon all those who wore either a beard or a moustache. Those who paid the tax were required to carry a Beard Token. This is a pewter replica of that original Beard Token from 1700's Russia. http://www.beardtoken.com
