Russian Silver - 10 Kopecks (1910)
I have shared silver coins from all kinds of countries, but never from one of the biggest, a country that's not so popular these days... Russia!
The one I will be sharing today is the smallest Russian piece in my possession, and a rather old one, a 10 kopecks from 1910!
These little beauties were minted from 1867 to 1914 by the russian empire, just a couple years before Russia started taking a more... socialist approach 🤣.. You know, Lenin etc etc.
On the front side we have a bad ass two-headed imperial eagle, the coat of arms of the time, which is also in use today.
The reverse side is pretty plain, featuring a crown, the coin value and the minting date.
This is a really light and small coin, just 1.8 g heavy. And only 0.500 silver, so just 0.9 g silver in it.
Here's size comparison vs a standard sized lighter:
And here's some more technical info from numista:
All in all, I really like this coin. It doesn't have much silver, but the two headed eagle is really fancy and I like how the coin has aged over the years !

The Russian Kopecks is small. These are made from just .5 silver, nice for collecting !
Russian silver, I don't know if it's ok to show this today.
Btw, the old coins are always the best. I want one of them too!

A nice piece that held up pretty good for 112 years, if only this coin can talk... in English.
Большое спасибо @trumpman
Lmao
Most times I quite hear about Canadian silver coin, well it is a pleasure to come across the Russia silver coin
It's a fairly small coin but the two headed eagle is fancy.

Well, the two headed eagle is cool but I think I have seen finer silver coins from your collection.
So yeah, I think it's just there.
I really like the concept of a Russian coin over a classic American brand lighter that was made in China! I start to believe that there is a hidden meaning behind your posts mate 😂😂

I wonder if this silver is cheaper since anything Russian is banned by the west?
That's a very nice coin comrade 😉 I don't have any ruski coins yet
