Message:: [QUOTE="Pegwing, post: 41836, member: 2607"]Hi...I've read how helpful all of you are and was wondering if you could give me any information on the coin I'm going to describe. On the front, it says 1898 TOAA, in the center of the fron it has the number 1 and under the number 1 is the word KOUSNKA...the letter that I think is an "S" is hard to distinguish and the "N" is backwards. Under that word are the initials C.M.R. (And I can't really be sure of that because they are real small!) Along the edge of the coin is a wreath and the wreath reaches up to the 1898 TOAA on either side. The flip side of this coin is really hard to describe. I can tell you that there is writing that is so small along the edge of the coin, and at one point on the left and right side of the edge, it almost looks like there is a Celtic knot. The center looks like it might be a combination of a crest and a spread-winged bird of some kind. I have scans of this coin, but I'm not sure how to post them yet. Thanks, again, for any help you might be able to give me.[/QUOTE]
