This coin belongs to Mahdist Sultanate and due to poverty and the desire to show off, sultanate decided to mint billon coins
Coin was mint in 1869, under Alexander II at the S.Petersburg mint
Material - .917 Au
Diameter - 22.5 mm
Condition - AU
Why is it coin are exception? 'Cause it 35 mm
Why exception? Because Russian Empire (under last 3 emperators) and USSR never minted silver coins bigger than 33-34 mm. Thanks for understanding!
