payta Posted May 23, 2011 at 08:25 PM Report Posted May 23, 2011 at 08:25 PM Hi, everybody! My hobby is relics hunting, especially coins hunting. I live in Russia, 70km away from Moscow. I have found one strange coin and want to recognize it, could you, please help me? Here is a photo of it. What is the age of this coin, from which province it is, and what does this hieroglyphs mean?
