<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 7433370, member: 22377&quot;]Continuing the set, another fantasy piece arrived today. South Ossetia is within Georgia and shares a border with Russia. It is only recognized by a handful of countries: Russia, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Nauru, and Syria. The population consists mostly of Ossetians (an Iranian ethnic group-one of the few in Europe). As the Soviet Union was breaking up, the nationalistic spirits among Georgians and Ossetians clashed, and that led to war in 1991. Tensions finally subsided in 1992 as a coup d&#039;état brought new leadership to Georgia (including a former Soviet minister). This lasted until Georgian leadership changed again in 2004 and they attempted to reunite the country. In 2008, Russian involvement in the area along with provocations from both Ossetians and Georgians, led to the Russo-Georgian War. This resulted in Ossetian and Russian forces gaining full de facto control of the territory. </p><p><br /></p><p>Country: <b>South Ossetia </b></p><p>Face value: <b>2 Rubles</b></p><p>Year: <b>2013</b></p><p>Composition: <b>Bimetallic: brass center in copper plated steel ring</b></p><p>Diameter (mm): <b>28 mm</b></p><p>Mintage: <b>Unknown </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]1290144[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1290145[/ATTACH] </b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
