gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3675 Posts	Posted 02/26/2025 10:19 am Came across this coin that I have been looking for quite some time. This is one of those obscure silver 5 kopek that was struck for only two years (1859 - 1860). Total mintage is a mere 140k ish, making this challenging to complete silver 5 kopek type set. I don't know why the design is so short lived. It's a nice eagle design. I've been neglecting this Imperial Russian silver type set (1802 - 1917) for a while. The last time I updated this was perhaps back in 2019! http://gxseries.com/numis/rus_imper...802_1917.htm Many of them were from a time when prices are a lot more reasonable. If I said I bought a silver ruble less than 50-100 dollars, you'd think I'm pulling your leg. Shipping cost were not as obscene as today, let alone absurd taxes on everything. Might attempt to fill one every year. Most are achievable with the exception of the earlier smaller denomination coins... Please feel free to post silver Russian coins from this era!
