    hi im new here so please dont freak out if im posting this in the wrong place. im a pritty small time collector and im not in it for the massivly expensive stuff i just try to find the most interesting coins i can. i recently bought this coin and have since been able to find absolutly nothing about it not even where it is from. my pictures are kind of blury because my camera phone sucks but any help would be much obliged. the face has what looks like greek letters on the rear is a 2 headed eagle with a crown in one claw and a septer in the other it is dated 1736

    You will have to post better photos to get any kind of accurate identification. At first the double-headed eagle looked like a lobster to me.

    Looks like a Russian Denga from the reign of Anna(1730-1740)

    Nice price for it :D I just picked up a 1860 (holed) Egypt 10 para Sultan Abdülmecid I for £3.50 so 20p is good :D
