Look at this auction! And guess who won it, and very cheap! That's a real cherrypick for me I can't wait to get it. It is the famous Romanov-tercentennary medal, after which this commemorative Rouble was modelled.
I have allways liked the Romanovs and felt sorry for them. The last imperial family faced such a tragedy.

That's neat.

Great score!!

Wow! Nice!

You can bid here for one 1913 rouble in excellent condition! 2 days left:

It's usually the other way around, as in, the medals were made in as a prototype, and which the coins are made later The 1834, 1859, 1898 and 1912, 1913 rubles were modeled after this. So... you have quite a bit there

That's what I said on the first message.
Didn't I ?

Oops, forgive me I must be pretty tired. Yes, you are right.

It's super!

Cool!
