I'm not suprised at all. I mean afterall, you can just get rid of the zeros and still get by it. I guess it happened because of bad inflations. What a pity though... that the korean banknotes will change after 30 years in circulation. I guess the counterfeiters are starting to hit it

Anything is possible in Russia. Once in a cash strapped museum in Khabarovsk, the director tried to sell me some of their collections. Slightly less than authorised issues emanating from Goznak would not surprise me.

OMG WHAT? I am more than interested to look at what kind of collections the museum offered O_O Where, what, omg when

Honestly I have no idea what is going on with this one. I am assuming that they had full intentions of minting this "sovereignty" coin in pure gold, but I guess due to financial reasons and bad taste of minting such coin in pure gold didn't pass through the approval stage. Well I don't know, I am still quite stunned in some sense. There was never a kremlin like this with a 100 ruble denomination. I don't know if Krause has actually published it, or some coin catalogue book ever did.

Extreme left red wing communist... (eh)

*oops* pardon me.

Russian coins.

8,765 (just a total random guess... )

Isn't it called Ringgit?

Definately not at a problem, I sure missed it

awwwwwwww that's so sweet of you, tiffy

I do collect Russian commemorative coins... including the Imperial Russian ones too.

Now with a powerful v2 version!!! (with outlines XD)

I just figured out how to do the outline ;;;

Queen Elizabeth II is all over the world's design... I wonder what will happen when she passes away...

Definately nice banknotes. Do I see some kind of holograms at the bottom of the 20 pound note? ?

Another picture as followup.

Notice how you can see the Au 900 and 15.5 gram mark on the left reverse, and the MMD mintmark on the right side.

The obverse itself looks slightly different as well, as there is only text in the trial coin. The building itself looks different, I have got no idea what building it is supposed to be.

lol, sorry for the double post but people RARELY come here :'(

Link as follows

lol trial coin @ first post.

This is a coin that I got some time ago, and the seller did claim that it is a trial coin. And I thought that was a joke in the first place...

This coin does look similar to the link down here Ruble similar to this

And there is a ruble coin that looks awfully similar to this, but obviously this is not true. The obverse may look almost similar but the reverse is a shocking 100 ruble denomination, which no coins were ever minted with such design (i.e. the Kremlin in gold 100 ruble denomination)

I will post larger pictures later.

The first Russian platinum ruble was minted in 1828, but who knew the Russians minted platinum medals as a trial...

That medal is supposed to be minted in silver but I guess some of them were minted in PROOF platinum conditions... geez...

I am completely awed... :|

Just in case people missed it

Glad to be here and glad to be back and glad to see the virtual museum getting back online too.  That was a lot of work and a labor of love.

 

Good luck with the new site!

Oh wow! A completely new site!!!
