one-kuna Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Kuna can you tell me the difference with this one? Pardon the scan pic is OK, look at the Swedish Avesta 5 kopeks - does an eagle itself look to you as a dragon/monster, look at wings, at tail, and a crown which has little openings - each of this part are diffrent from regular issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobh Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 One more detail which holds true for all the Avesta (Swedish) counterfeits: the word "Kopeek" on the reverse is misspelled. The last letter should have been the hard sign ("Ъ", or "твёрдый знак") but the Avesta coins use the soft sign instead ("ь", or "мягкий знак"). Sometimes there is not much detail in the crown on these, so it helps to confirm by other means. Also, the digit "7" in the year looks different on these coins.
