You should enter to the english site (click on the english flag), and the follow the links. e.g.: "country list".
Try here http://www.cbr.ru/eng/bank-notes_coins/coins/ These are the pages of the Central Bank of Russia. Also u can ask here http://www.coins.su/forum/viewforum.php?f=38 This is one of the best Russian coin forums.
------------------- OFF TOPIC ------------------- A very interesting thing is that this ccTLD (.su) was assigned just before the Soviet Union collapsed. It's still in use today and administered by the Russian Institute for Development of Public Networks. ICANN, says the name is out of date and wants to kill it off. But thousands of Internet users still use the suffix -- in part for its nostalgia value -- and are fighting to save it. ------------------- OFF TOPIC -------------------
I think this was very interesting decision to use SU. If I'm not mistaken this happened because the owner of the site was (is) collecting soviet coins and wanted to make the forum to discuss these coins. So you can see www.coins.su is equal to Coins of Soviet Union. Nice game of words. The site was founded in year 2004 and it was possible that time to register SU. Who knows how difficult was it? Nowadays all types of coins are discussed there. :smile
