Can you identify this?

These are the last 2 unidentifed coins in my collection...I hope. I'm coming close to being a pest I'm sure...so I hope this is the last.

The pics aren't the best, you may have to enlarge or something.

Obverse of the 1st and obverse of the 2nd please.

 

And the other side.

 

1st one is Syrian and the 2nd one is Russian. I'll get the denomination in few mins.

 

Ok the 1st coin is a Syrian 1971 FAO commemorative 5 Piastres coin.

 

2nd coin is a Russian 1 Rouble.

 

Nice going TW...I am yet to add any Syrian coin to my collection.

 

Wow Kid! That's incredible how you run those coins down so fast.

I'm not too good with computers or this site, But I tried to delete all the messages I could. Did it work alright?

Also, you have my email, so if there are any coins from U.S. you need, drop me a line.

By the way,as a lad my name was Ronnie. In adulthood, I've shortened it to Ron.

 

With experience buddy you'll too be able to identify the coin's origin by just looking at the scripts, legends and symbols. After that all you gotta do is go to that world coin site and confirm your assumption.
Hey we are both Ronnies.lol
My nick is Ron though:secret:.
Yup, you did all right with the visitor message.

 

The Russian 1 ruble by the way is struck in Moscow Mint.
