For instance with this 1898 5 rouble even in far from optimal condition the finest details especially with the horse and its rider can only be seen with magnification beyond even what this photo offers. It is a lot to pack into a space about the diameter of a U.S. dime! Clearly the designers of these coins has a lot of pride and satisfaction in their work. Report this Post to the Staff

The gold 1899 10 rouble below doesn't seem to have any greater detail of features even though it is double the space. Report this Post to the Staff

Pretty intensive work!
