    Pishpash had a thread devoted to Russian Wire Money in January, which you can check out here:

    Nice coin @Mat! Yours is about twice the size of mine, and has the Cyrillic legend:)

    Those are much more complete and better struck than the little boogers I had once! Mine were on pretty oblong flans. There were about a half-dozen of 'em I got in a lot somewhere.
