A big chunk of copper! It is slightly larger and thicker than a silver crown.

Although it is not a series I collect myself, after seeing the 5 kopeks of Catherine II and how large they are -well I just had to get one as a type. I just love BIG coins! (though normally silver)

I love big bronze coins too, they are an addiction.
Nice piece. I hope to buy the Sestoresk Ruble from 1773 before you do though.
