Ruger9a Valued Member United States 325 Posts	Posted 05/06/2021 08:06 am Thanks @Palouche .... It is Russian wire money! Although very interesting to look at, I don't believe I'll invest in any book purchases. Thanks again for finally identifying this coin for me. Report this Post to the Staff
Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 612 Posts	Posted 05/06/2021 09:28 am Agreed, Russian wire money. Now you will want to know the ruler. Looks like a silver "sword kopek" of Ivan IV (The Terrible), 1530-1584, Moscow mint struck circa 1535. Matches the fourth coin on this page http://www.ancientresource.com/lots...n-coins.html Edited by Seeker55 05/06/2021 09:42 am Report this Post to the Staff
Ruger9a Valued Member United States 325 Posts	Posted 05/06/2021 09:51 am THANKS @Seeker55 !! Now I don't have to buy anything. I only have the one coin and already have many, many books and don't need any more. Thanks again for taking your time researching this coin for me. Report this Post to the Staff

Ruger9a Valued Member United States 325 Posts	Posted 05/06/2021 1:13 pm @That Coin Dude , I ordered the book right after I read his text. But, I just noticed it's all in Russian. Report this Post to the Staff
