This coin I believe to be Russian or somewhere in that hemisphere. Though I could not find anything on it, any info would be helpful. They are some of my favorites out of all of my coins.[attachmentid=74][attachmentid=75]

Yes it is, it was one of the first coins of the princedom of Bulgaria (the first series consisted of 2, 5 and 10 Stotinkas, all with date 1881). They were minted in England. As an indication of it, there reads "HEATON" under the leaves of the reverse.

Very nice coin indeed bthumbsup.gif

Thanks for the details. Still learning the ropes. So Bulgaria, was I close to Russia?

I.e. "N" & "R" in the reverse. smile.gif
