Chute72 Pillar of the Community United States 1314 Posts	Posted 01/18/2018 1:53 pm Typically the Russian wire money will have lettering on the reverse. They were crudely made, and the strike was seldom great enough to fully flatten the wire. Thus images were incomplete. On this one all that is visible is the upper torso of Tsar Peter with spear in raised right hand. Country: Russia - Empire Year: 1699 Value: 1 Kopeck Metal Silver Weight: 0.28 g Size: 11.9#1093;8.2 mm Report this Post to the Staff
