Ah, Russia. What a place, what a history. This 1 Rouble coin came from that historic country where it lived a short life. As most of us know, the Soviet Union basically dissolved in the early 90's. This meant Russia had to make some new, non-communist coins. The result is this coin. It's pretty small for a dollar coin which led me to first believe it was a 1 Kopeck coin. Actually, it was the smallness of the 50 Rouble coin that led me to think it was 50 Kopecks, which then led me to believe that this was a 1 Kopeck coin. Anyway, this coin was coin circulated for five years and was demonetized and replaced by the newer Rouble which looks somewhat cooler. This coin is worth about $0.25.
