That is way cool.

I made a motor like the one on the reverse way back in my public school days.

That's really something -- and to think it survived all these years.

Thanks for sharing.
Great photos.

DBM I wandered around the interwebs until I found an international Morse code translator.

It appears to be:
F E(with an accent over it) you T O 4 O T R M

The Cyrillic alphabet changed in 1918 so assuming the coin is older than that, I found the old alphabet -- and that's that. It doesn't match up at all.

I thought it might be an engineering equation but I can't find anything.

I think the next step would be to find a really old Russian communications engineer.
