Scottishmoney Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Oleg Antonov, a great aviation designer that came to prominence during the 1940's with his design and development of the AN-2 utility biplane. His last project was the great AN-124 Ruslan, a very large 4 engined aircraft that for a short time was the largest aircraft in the world until it was superseded by the AN-225 Mriya. This coin is in prooflike, actually looks much better than my miserable scan and so far my new digital camera is not useful yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
