Picked up some coins while deployed. Wondering if they are special or not.

I have this one:

And this one:

I have one more but can't find it online.

Recognized my own photograph - can't believe that actually has a beautiful fingerprint inside a mint set. Mint control at that time isn't too strict so something like that can happen.

Answering your question, chances are, not really. Although they are both commemorative coins, there were millions of coins struck including the ruble that you have shown. Unless it is a scarce variety that I am not aware of, just don't think that you have struck a gold mine.

Nevertheless, welcome to coinpeople and hope you enjoy your time here.

Thanks. I appreciate it. I only paid 6 bucks for the lot so whatever. They look cool and I know the story behind them so it's cool to show people.

Very nice coins and welcome to CoinPeople
