alexbq2 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 yea, not seen many full ones, usualy little bits of wire money. Actually, not that uncommon for Ivan's and subsequent Boris' rules. After the trouble began the weight (and correspondingly the size) of the coins was reduced, and they just kept getting smaller and smaller as time went by. As a result Peter's kopeck is smaller than Ivan's denga (1/2 kopeck). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKB Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 still, nice to find a round and centered coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
