[QUOTE="mlov43, post: 2228407, member: 16729"]I know nothing about this coin. However, two things would bother me, if I was interested in this coin: 1) Being sold from Spain. 2) Not in a NGC/PCGS slab with the number showing for reference. As far as doing more research in the cyrillic alphabet, you can download that alphabet easily to your computer (esp. if you own an apple computer), and then play around on your English-only keyboard in Word until you start making the right cyrillic letters to put together the titles seen on this coin. I do this often with other alphabets when I search for world coins: I also use a pencil to write the letters that each keystroke makes right on my keys so I remember which ones to use. Don't forget the "shift" button: That also makes different characters in other alphabets, too. Cut and paste the cyrillic titles from your word document into the google search box (or the numismatic search engine, [url]http://acsearch.info[/url]) hit search, and start clicking on links; or better yet, do an [B]image[/B] search to find your coin. I'm sure that you would be able to find plenty of Russian/Polish numismatic sites that feature this coin.[/QUOTE]
