Corwin Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Is this a Avesta coin? This is very strange, looks like Avesta but year 1766. Does anyone have any kind of information on this coin? ~Corwin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Interesting photo. Any chance of a reverse photo? Should be more obvious when the crown on the reverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE MOULDING Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Moscow Mint (MM), I'd say, even without seeing the other side, judging from the style and color. Looks normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-kuna Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 presentation of this coin, one-side-photo, is as a puzzle can it be 2 kops? I would suggest to present photos of both sides and possible edge in order to get qualified respond, it does not relate just to you - for everyone asking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have asked for a reverse photo and will upload this when (if) possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKB Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Very funny. THis looks nothing like Avesta. The only reason for the other side is to see whether Steve called it right -- MM. For the following: 1. E over I; 2. Distance between the loop to cypher and crown to cypher; 3. "66" in date -- it is a 5 kop 1766 MM. Do not think it is a 2 kop -- design is wrong, but with those mintages you never know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
