    I was emptying my pockets this morning and found this in my loose change :).
    Looked like a dime at first. Can someone tell me the country origin. There is a B C on 1side??? I’M guessing it is at least .25¢ USD Yipppies :) :) :)

    WOW thanks, I was kind of amazed this coin was in such good condition for being 1916, but see a lot of them now(thanks again) online in similar condition. I am clueless when and where I got this but glad I didn't re-spend.

    *thumbs up* :)

    1916, the last year of Russian Empire as the 1917 Russian Revolution swept away the last Tsar and laid the ground work for the rise of Lenin and the Bolshevik's eventual triumph in the Russian Civil War.
