robert_ Valued Member Italy 81 Posts	Posted 03/06/2017 11:40 am Ciao, what do you think of this Rouble issued in 1967 for celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Revolution? The metal doesn't look to be the normal Copper-Nickel-Zinc (but the surfaces could show maybe the result of some strange treatment or corrosion, I don't know) and the weigh is 10,77g (instead of 10 g). The diameter is correct, 31 mm. Just a coin with a "difficult past"? Have a good day, ciao Roberto Report this Post to the Staff
