I was using Ukrainian grivnas instead of Russian. I'm not sure with my answer of 20.75 because I did a quick guess just to get it in before wolf.

All seriousness aside, any one of you deserve it - this has been no easy task - great quiz svslav.

OK - back to being serious.

I have Krause on disc, and I have searched the 12 Edition of Collection World Coins 1901- Present and there is no grivna. I cannot seem to find the Russian grivna link to any amount of currency on the internet. Could someone please help me to locate this information.
Thank you .

Well, you will not find a bob in Krause either. When I was growing up it was common to call 10k coin a grivna or grivennik, 15k coin piatialtynnyj (5 altyns), and 20k coin dvugrivennyj (doublegrivna).

I did find them in Krause First Edition 1701-1800 Standard Catalog of World Coins, pg. 835.

Thank for all the help.
