Hey guys, I am buying this from someone I know for $5. I bought it thinking it was a piece of Russian wire money, but it looks a lot bigger. (Almost the size of a penny.) I would appreciate it if you could tell me anything about it or how much it’s worth. Thanks for all your help!
Lol...I thought you were gonna ask about wiring money to some big Russian. I was gonna advise against it. I wish I could help, but I (obviously) don't know Russian money.
No worries @dougsmit has a pretty good page on jitals: https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/bh.html
I can't find a picture of the single jital in our collection right now, but here is a Russian wire kopek from Ivan the Terrible that I bought from Frank Robinson last year.
