<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2426009, member: 69760&quot;]I&#039;m not a fan of damaging the coin, so I won&#039;t be able to do the drop/ring test, sorry. I just tried testing it for magnetism with an N52 neodymium magnet (a decently sized one of about 7/8&quot; x 7/8&quot; x 1/4&quot; thick), and it doesn&#039;t stick, so at least I know there&#039;s no iron or nickel in it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The diameter is 41.5mm when measured directly with a caliper, against Krause&#039;s 40mm diameter. There are 41.5mm Roubles (e.g. 1727 Russian Rouble Peter II) but none of the varieties for 1725 of this design series seems to have been made (intentionally) at 41.5mm in diameter. However, this example appears to be an off-center strike, so I&#039;m unsure how that factors in.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
