Covington Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 This coin I believe to be Russian or somewhere in that hemisphere. Though I could not find anything on it, any info would be helpful. They are some of my favorites out of all of my coins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tane Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 It's a Bulgarian 10 stotinki. Yes it is, it was one of the first coins of the princedom of Bulgaria (the first series consisted of 2, 5 and 10 Stotinkas, all with date 1881). They were minted in England. As an indication of it, there reads "HEATON" under the leaves of the reverse. Very nice coin indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covington Posted July 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Thanks for the details. Still learning the ropes. So Bulgaria, was I close to Russia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 At least you managed to notice the cyrillic font, that's a good sign. I.e. "N" & "R" in the reverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
