Hello guys - ( no threads in the NUMISMATICS forum in long time - somethings gotta be done :) )

Just announcing that i have finally completed my

Russian silver coin collection by DENOMINATION - i am awaiting the arrival of a 50 Kopeek coin and a 1 Rouble coin from Riga in Latvia ( thanks to eBay )
(note on eBay : good for buyers, bad for sellers )

When they arrive will take a group foto and upload

So,

5 Kopeeks 0.8998 grams 0.500 Silver 0.0144 oz
10 Kopeeks 0.5
15 Kopeeks 0.5
20 Kopeeks 0.5
25 Kopeeks - 0.900 silver 0.1446 oz ( strange that it is about 10 times heavier than 5 Kopeek )
50 Kopeeks - 0.900 silver 0.2893 oz
1 Rouble - 0.900 silver 0.5786 oz ( note almost the same weight as modern Austrian 50 Schilling coins )

See below for the look of the 20 Kopeek coin, but group photo when the other 2 arrive.
I may even frame em and flip em back to some Oligarch from Vladivostok on eBay :)

Very nice, look forward to the Family Photo.

I have some Double Headed Eagles, I was wondering if they were Russian or Polish, mine are very worn so it is difficult to make out the writing. They look similar so I will have to dig them out.
 
Do check them out - some other Eastern European coins also feature the double headed eagle
( Montenegro too ).

The Poles should be using the Latin/Roman script on their coinage unlike their Russian & Montenegrin cousins.

Upload the foto and il look it up in the catalog if u like
 
interesting story about Russia Silver Coins

Stalin's "Death Sentence" Silver Coins

In August of 1930, the USSR was faced with financial problems including mounting inflation and a shortage of hard currency. Joseph Stalin's solution was to confiscate the circulating silver coins and replace them with base metal coins. Of course, the Soviet citizens were no fools and they immediately began to hoard the silver coins. Stalin issued orders to shoot all those who defied his orders, which meant that anyone holding these 50% Silver Kopek coins was risking a swift and certain death sentence. The USSR never struck another circulating silver coin, making these the last Soviet Silver issues.

So, what is the story of rider who kill the dragon in the shield? Is St. Gorge or some pre christian motive? Do u maybe know on which Russian coins it show up first?
 
I dont know who the Rider is. I presume it is some saint from within the Orthodox church.
I have seen the motif on coins from the 1700s.
