<p>[QUOTE="ddddd, post: 7972757, member: 22377"]For those who have been following along and those who may be seeing it for the first time, this thread will serve as the unifying place to show the entire set of ex-Soviet nations. The set started with my interest in coins from Kazakhstan (they have an excellent bimetallic space series, which I discovered years back by collecting the silver and niobium series from Austria) and expanded as I found several other coins that appealed to me. Having a few already in hand, I decided to embark on the challenge of adding one from each of the fifteen former Soviet Republics. The goals are that every coin is post 1991 (after independence), silver, and graded. Some of these are simple enough to find while others have proven to be quite difficult to attain. Through this journey, the set has seen some expansion to countries that were never Republics but either came close or played some sort of pivotal role. There is also a small diversion to explore the disputed territories (areas that were within the Soviet Union or had some connection but did not become recognized independent countries-they tend to be a fragile part of other independent nations). Since most of these do not have official coins, the rules are a bit more relaxed as to what can be part of the set (the goals of graded and silver have been dropped).</p><p><br /></p><p>What follows is each of the fifteen republics in alphabetical order.
