<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hontonai, post: 268865, member: 4703&quot;]It is <u>always</u> helpful to include the diameter and measured weight in the description of a coin you are inquiring about without a picture.</p><p><br /></p><p>If yours has a 24mm diameter, and weighs 12.9039g, the closest thing I can find in the 19th Century Standard Catalog of World Coins is Y#65.1, a 15 rouble coin struck at St. Petersburg, without a mint mark.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are two varieties, one with a narrow rim and four letters of the legend under the neck, and the other with a wide rim and no part of the legend under the neck.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The principal difference between your description and the picture of the coin is that &quot;15&quot; is followed by the cyrillic letters for Rouble, not a &quot;g&quot;.&nbsp; A quick scan of the pictures in Krause does not turn up <u>any</u> with the weight instead of the denomination included in the legends.</p><p><br /></p><p>Except in the very highest grades, the coin is listed at bullion value.&nbsp; The 15 Rouble is .900 gold, with an AGW of .3734 oz., so it&#039;s probably worth ~$245.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
