gxseries Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 From the certificate that I got together with this coin: --- This is to certify that the token DISARMAMENT COIN is made of the metal of the R-12 (SS-4) Soviet medium range missiles scrapped under the Soviet-American INF Treaty. The metal poses no harm for your health. The “coin” is a unique souvenir and cannot be used as currency. - Soviet Peace Committee --- Suprisingly big yet light - I am assuming that it is a re-enforced aluminum alloy. Weight: 9.0grams Diameter: 40.13grams Thickness: 3.09mm Should I check the levels of radiation from this medal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 I found the 1 ruble = 1 dollar aspect way too funny... Back in 1988, the USSR Govt valued the ruble at about $1.39 US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
