5 Kopek, 20th Century Czarist Russian copper. It will take someone with more expertise than I possess to identify it as (probably) either Y#12.2 (1911-12) or Y#12.3 (1916-17). Catalog value? In the $10-100 range.

Thank you everybody. About what I expected. This is a 1873 and pretty worn so I think I better put it back in the album for another century or so:smile
What leads you to that conclusion? The double-headed eagle has traditionally been either Russian or Austro-Hungarian. The legends are in cyrillic characters. The denomination is clearly in "Kopeks". The coin had already been identified as Russian by two people more than 20 minutes before you posted.
Definitely from Russia. 5 kopeks, copper. Minted during the time of czar Alexander II. According to the Krause World Coins catalog, it's probably worth $2-$5 in that condition. Regards, Monetarium
Definately Russian. I'm missing of that date in my collection. http://www.gxseries.com/numis/rus_imperial/cu_group_xviii.htm
