<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Russia Visitor, post: 1262427, member: 33058&quot;]<b>Identifying Old Russian Coin</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I visited Russian in Oct of 1979 and saved coins from this trip.&nbsp; I can identify all but one of them and I am hoping someone with knowledge of Russian coins can help me.&nbsp; There are no numbers at all on the coin so I am going to describe it as best I can.&nbsp; On one side there is an image of a large man holding a double-edged sword and he is holding in his left arm what appears to be a small person.&nbsp; On the left side of the image is &quot;XX&quot; and on the right side is &quot;AET&quot;.&nbsp; (Actually it is an upside down V, not an A)&nbsp; There are four words around the outer edge of the coin.&nbsp; The other side of the coin has the same &quot;wreath&quot; with the hammer and sycle as found on the 5 kopek coin.&nbsp; There is CC and CP on the sides of the wreath.&nbsp; The words &quot;OANH&quot; and &quot;PBVB&quot; at the bottom of the coin.&nbsp; Any idea what this is?&nbsp; Maybe it is not a coin but a token of some kind.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t remember how I came across these coins on my trip as we were only allowed to make purchases with American dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for any help you may give.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
