Russian Empire coins/medals at Yale

Coin World had the url slightly out of order. Here's the correct site:

The close-up pictures are huge and they take a while to download.





I've seen many of these massive 5-kopek coins at shows. This was issued by Catherine the Great in 1788, a well known date in US history.

Be sure to check out the commemoratives for some amazing artwork.

Great links and wonderful artwork. For me the artistic appeal has always been a major part of what I collect. Frankly with the modern US coinage being what it is, I'm leaning more toward exonumia and World everyday.
