IgorS Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Seems to be "thank you for the ruble that was bringing me happiness". Interesting that it does not say "good luck", but "happiness" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMIS Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 mihaizaha, Â Thank you for sharing the picture. Do you know the story behind the coin? Frankly, I am a little suspicious of the inscription as the writing appears modern to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMIS Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Also, I recall an episode from Russian fiction speaking of a character, who was presented with a rouble (most likely that of Elizabeth) The coin traveled with the character, and one could say it brought luck to the owner. Upon completion of his adventurers the character returned the coin to the gifter with gratitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihaizaha Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 the coin was good.I did call the guy to tell him what the inscription read and the coin is currently sold.Now I m sorry I didn t get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMIS Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Don't be. Buying a coin with graffiti like this is a gamble: if graffiti truly dates back to 1870's it may enhance the coin's value in the eyes of some buyers, but if it turns out to be the work of a modern "artist", the value of the coin approaches the price of base metal.
