G_ary Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 http://imgur.com/yY8KZIa Its between 1/2oz-1 oz (closer to 1 oz, i can weigh it tonight). I got it probably 15 years ago at a coin shop in LA. I was young so i don't remember what the price was, or what it was labeled as. I would love some more information on it, but my goggling attempts have got me nowhere. It came in a terrible blue display case with no identification of any type. I assumed i could find something right away because it is not some generic coin. It has a fairly specific message on the obverse and reverse. That has not been the case. I would also assume it at least has to do with TIME magazine declaring him the man of the decade in 1990. That has still lead me no where though.

constanius Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Gorbachev won the Nobel Peace Price in 1990 for 'allowing' the Berlin Wall to be torn down and he had presided over the dissolution of the Soviet Empire, the USSR. Hence being made Time's Man of the Decade, for ending the Cold War. Try googling "Perestroika". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
