Hi,

With .68 g, shouldn't it be a kopeck?
or the weight is wrong ?

cheers,
Andre

1 poluska=1/4 kopeck and 1 denga=1/2 kopeck
The weight doens't matter much.
Cents are money too!

Hello =)

This is kopecks

Horseman => kopeck


This is Polushka

Bird => Polushka


In different sources you can find 1st coin with different names. Denga or Kopeck.
All 2 variants are correct. Kopeck is more modern name than Denga.
Best regards,
Ilya.
