OK, 8 questions left. Russia was the last country to stop making hammered coins, so the date should be a bit easier to identify.

I can't find a resource that specifies which coins are hammered, but looking through a catalog, it looks like the earliest would have been around 1760, but I would guess its greater than 1780.

Ok so to summarize, this coin is from Russia before 1800. It is copper and at least 22 mm in diameter.

Joecoin..this is not a question directed to you..But to fellow followers.. Humm...Remember,he said yes the coin was minted in Russia. But he was vague on it being a Russian coin (is what I got) Could it have been minted in Russia for one of the territories they may have ruled over (if any) during this time span?...  ..World history not my high point in school...
