Big Russian Wire Money???

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.

 

Look up Afghan jital.
FYi, your first picture is oriented upside down.

 

Thanks man. Didn’t even know where to start looking haha

 

No worries
@dougsmit has a pretty good page on jitals:

Cool, I’ll check it out. This will actually be my first ancient coin!

 

Welcome to the dark side. The addiction is real.

 

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.

 

Haha. I guess the thread name is a little misleading
