    Here Three Russian Coins ...The problem in the words written on the reverse ..three different writting ..especially the first and the second one "all letters are the same except the last letter"...IS this an error or just different values of the coins.I don't read russian.The three coins have the same Obverse.

    One CENT, two CENTS. The “s” at the end of the plural is not an error. As for why the 15 kopek is not the same as the 2 kopek word, I have no idea, but I would not classify it as an error. It is obviously the way the Russkies wrote their denomination in their language.

    Also, some languages have different ways to write the same sound. For example, in Germany, a word with two s’s in it can use either “ss”, or “ß”. Or, “ö” becomes ”oe” if you do not want to use the tow dots over the o.

    In Russian 2-4 plural of a thing (2 units, 3 units, etc.) is wrote different than 5 or more units of a thing. That's why 15 kopeeks looks different than 2 kopeeks.
