<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 8822, member: 669&quot;]The only 5 Roubles coin dated 1898 which is listed in Krause is considerably larger (~22mm) than a U.S. dime (~18mm).&nbsp; It&#039;s 4.3013g of .900 gold (.1244 AGW - &lt;$50 at recent gold prices) and has a bearded profile facing left on the obverse, with a double-headed eagle on the reverse.&nbsp; Both sides have cyrillic lettering around the outside edge, which I assume is what is being referred to as &quot;a Greek key design&quot;.&nbsp; In the 2001 3rd Ed. 19th Century volume (the most recent one published) it is cataloged at &quot;bullion value&quot; in Very Fine and below, $60 in Extra Fine, and $90 Uncirculated.&nbsp; The mintage was only 52,378.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
