<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tejas, post: 6316974, member: 84905&quot;]This is off topic, but I guess since there are a few people around who are interested in Russian numismatics I show another interesting piece from my collection.</p><p>This is an extremely rare Srebrenik of the Grand Prince Vladimir (Saint Vladimir) of Kiev. Vladimir introduced Christianity to Russia and he is the first prince who produced coins in his own name. </p><p>The obverse shows Vladimir on the throne and the revers shows the Tamga of the early Rurikid princes. </p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse legend is hardly visible but would read &quot;Vladimir&#039; i stol&quot; = Vladimir on the throne. And the reverse legend reads &quot;a se ego crebro&quot; = and this is his silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin was minted in Kiev or Chernigow in around AD 1015.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1250248[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
