One eagle head represents the East and the other represents the West. The horseman in the middle has been described as St. George. The orb and scepter are grasped in the eagle&#039;s claws. Above the eagle&#039;s heads is the crown.&nbsp; All the little things in the feathers are the Coat of Arms of Astrakhan, Siberia, Georgia, Finland, Kiev-Vladimir-Novgorod, Taurica, Poland and Kazan (seen clockwise). This is also known as the Lesser State Emblem.</font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="3">I learned most of this a couple months ago from the world coin guys at CT. </font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial">Very best regards,</font></p><p><font face="Arial">collect89</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
