I won this coin in 1989 when I was 13 years old.
I was playing chess with my friend and placed a large handful of copper coins against this coin. Then I didn't know how much this coin was worth and I thought it was very expensive :) Now I know its price, it costs $11-12. For this money, now you can have lunch in a cafe once. I think it's unfair, silver should be worth more.
This coin was made in the USSR in 1924. Denomination 1/2 ruble. A blacksmith is depicted on the front side. The weight of the coin is 10 grams, the fineness of silver is 900. Coin diameter 2.667 cm.
On the reverse side there is an inscription - "Proletarians of all countries, unite!"
The weight of pure silver is indicated on the edge of the coin - 9 grams.
This coin will be 100 years old next year. And I hope I can wait until this coin is worth $100.
The actual price is.... what a collector wants to pay for it 😉
Seems it's a bit more than 12$, at least, according to this site: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces4623.html (I think it's the same coin)

In 1989? Dayum.
It looks like a classic one... Tho, what was it's price back then if $12 is current price?
Somewhere in future silver gonna worth more..
I didn't know then how much it cost. There was no Internet then, and we didn’t have a catalog with prices for coins either :)
Oh aight... Was curious to know how much difference these years created.
Soon I'm gonna get my first silver coin!
Surely it'll be worth of 100$ sometimes but i never want to sold such coins because it's a unique memory of past 😍
You should be proud that you have saved something from history, Price doesn't matters.
Yes, that's the main thing.
Всегда любил подержать в руках такие старые вещи. Они определённо стоят больше 12$, когда держишь в руках и представляешь что происходило вокруг этой монеты за эти годы.)

А может ничего и не происходило. По крайней мере с 1989 по 2023 год она просто лежала в шкафу :)
C 27 года было столько эмиграций, войн и всякой всячины, что сомневаюсь.) Думаю те времена были похожи на наши предыдущие 3-4 года))

😎😉 nice! I was thinkin Mark Henry till I saw the back too..
Nice little coin! Best part about it is the silver content! You might check the numismatic value it might be much higher since it's an older silver coin.

Very nice, @urri2020! And it is silver!!!
Sexy dude doing manly stuff
That's a really nice coin I would love to have one in my collection maybe if it's not too expensive I'll scoop one up
As long as it's silver it will be worth far more than the fiat paper currency.
Thanks for sharing this seldom seen coin @urri2020
I have an old 20 Kopeck somewhere in my collection but I can't find it. Lol!
Let it lie down, then it will be more expensive
It's interesting how the "2" uses the same exact shape as the "9", but with a line on the bottom. I thought is said 1994, until I realized it's almost 100 years old!
Такие монеты обычно передают по наследству, и вот внуки уже будут удивляться ее стоимости:)) К тому же, слышала, серебра на добычу осталось не так уж много:))
Old things are very sensitive in the way we see that the design is very beautiful.
Когда весь мир перейдет в крипту, такие монеты будут стоить на много больше, чем 100$😁
It really shows that this is your first coin
It looks old
Old but gold
