smokin Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 My wife got some of these from her Russian grand parents. They are of different dates but do not look like the Russian 10 rubles in any pictures I could find. Are they real? They appear to be real gold. They are about 22mm diameter.

gxseries Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 No, they are British. Welcome to coinpeople by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saor Alba Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 St. George slaying the dragon is common to 18th century Russian coins, and then later British coins. New Russian coinage also has St. George on it, as do the British sovereigns still being minted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
