but you can read?

"the ministry of finance USSR"
Swiss are both tokens. I've never seen a 2 Frank one. I would like both of those if you are interested.
What we have here are tokens from A G Sigg...Frauenfeld. They were an aluminium manufacturing company that made their own token currency.
A2 is https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces38502.html

It's a token/medal which got added to mint sets from the Leningradsky Monetnyj Dvor (Leningrad Mint) to indicate their origin.

Numismatic Trip Advise
The nice little coin outlet of the Saint Petersburg mint is not to be missed by numismatics visiting SPB: it's right in the middle of the must-see Peter and Pauls Fortress, which you should visit anyway for tons of other reasons.
Many thanks for helping me in these 3 first coins :-) I´ve added some more, still more to come cof cof..

ArnoV: Nice advise! :) Coincidentally, next week I´ll be a few kilometers away from SPB on vacations, but I haven´t managed to get the Visa to Russia (though, to be honest.. I did not too much effort on getting one, err... sure I know I should!), but I´ll take the advice for my next year´s Russian trip hehe :)

bam77: These are tiny tiny little tokens. I knew it wasn´t a coin for the size, many thanks for the explanation!

eazy.dog: 1 Yuan! Somehow I missed on the catalog, I saw many times without finding it :-) Thanks!

Yeah, it came in mint condition, inside some plastic, a gift from a friend. Now I´ll ask for.. "the rest of the mint set" :D hehe
