squirrel Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Somebody carried this around on a string..but still mostly intact old silver. Recent addition to my collection of Peter the Great tiny silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigistenz Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 As the hole is not on top, the coin was probably sewn on a dress, see the picture from "SPASSKY, The Russian Monetary system" . Sigi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrel Posted October 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Wow, never have seen that. I assumed jewelry. I have always avoided holed coins as a rule, but this was still attractive to me, and a bargain find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extant4cell Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Can you imagine your whole collection like that displayed on a wall? I t would be an impressive sight! Though, I would have to go solidly crazy to do something like that with my coins. ))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigi I have been enjoying some youtube videos lately. Sergey is quite an entertaining Vlogger. His walks around St Petersburg are great light hearted narated sightseeing. He travels all over Russia. This video is from a conference of vloggers in the Urals, where he encounters a group of women displaying Bashkir culture. They are wearing traditional Bashkir dresses, handed down generations, each with an impessive collection of silver coins. Skip to 7:25 to see!

extant4cell Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Amazing! I am sure when they dance the coins make a satisfying dull sound of silver bells... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
