I always liked this simple Russian coin

Not a rare one or anything but its always been among my favorites. Anyone have any of these?

Nice coin indeed - not so much because of its "proletarian" theme and motto (workers/proletarians of all countries unite) but because of the side in the upper image. Apart from the year at the bottom, there is only the scene with the metal worker/smith and lots of empty space which makes that scene even more impressive ...

Don't have one ..... yet. Like Chris said, impressive!

 

You're right...the side on the top picture is the one I really like, although the other side is pretty cool in its own way. When I bought it I was deciding between this one and another that the dealer had that was a woodie tone. Somehow I like the darkness of this one...its actually fairly close to the picture but the outer edge is more of a blue than it appears and the middle is an orange/gray mix. really cool

 

I have any of this

 

I like the coins guys, although I don't have any Russian pieces. I do have a couple of pieces of Russian currency from the 1930's though.

Its my favorite "Soviet" too

I agree the coin is so manly, and the message is clear. wonderful coin I have all years of that type. Having trouble finding my 1927 at the moment.

 

I don't have that one, but I will. Here's one from my Russian collection that I like.
1965 1 Rouble. 20th Anniversary of WWII Victory. Single year issue.

 

How about this one.. "Mother Russia" located at Stalingrad (Volgagrad):smile

 

1 rouble 1990. Marshall G.K. Zhukov.

 

I like this one because it has a blimp on it:


Russia 3 Roubles 1991 - Moscow

 

Here is ole Vadimer at his best !!!!

 

Beautiful coins folks!

Ripley, that 1975 1 ruble is awesome. I'm definately adding one of those to my collection!

 

1 rouble 1987. "175th Anniversary of Borodino battle".

 

I really like the reverse on these, amazing detail

 

:devil:Glad you like it. 1977 the Reds were riding pretty high. Hey I found my 1927 !!!

 

Speaking of this design... I won this auction today, for 12 Soviet 50 Kopek coins:

I don't want to get excited too soon but you can't beat getting those for about 60% BELOW melt value :hail: Even if the seller screws me and doesn't ship or something, Paypal protection will give me my $$$ right back.

 

Super good deal. At 90% seller ratings its a bit of a gamble. But, the seller only has 9 sales, so one probally went bad.

 

It's definitely a gamble, but one I figured worth taking. If Buyer Protection didn't exist, I wouldn't have touched this auction. We'll see what happens...

 

Nice coins guys. I too enjoy Soviet-era coinage.

Here's one of mine that hasn't been posted that includes a famous image/statue:
