Some people do not even suspect how much moneyat the moment is in their pockets. It turns out that the nominal value does not always correspond to reality. Take, for example, a coin of 10 rubles in 1993. How can you estimate it?
Detailed description
In Russia for the whole history of its existenceSeveral mints operated. Since the end of the 19th century, only two remained: St. Petersburg and Moscow. It was there that the 10 rubles of 1993 were minted. This coin was a means of payment on the territory of the Russian Federation in the nineties. Externally 10 rubles in 1993 looked quite normal.
On the obverse there is an image in the centertwo-headed eagle, and at the very bottom of the circle - an inscription of two words "BANK OF RUSSIA", written in capital letters. The reverse of the coin of 10 rubles in 1993 consists of several images. In the center - denomination denomination (digital). Under it is an inscription of a monetary unit. A little further down there is a dividing line, in the middle of which there is a sign of a certain mint. And under it, near the edge, is the year of release. On the sides of the figures are minted drawings: on the right - an oak twig with one acorn below, and to the left - wheat spikelets. On the rim of the coin, from the outside, its face value is once again registered, the words in which are divided among themselves by several squares.
Types of coinage
During its entire existence, the state sign of 10 rubles in 1993 was issued in four different forms. They differed in two ways:
- the location of the mint;
- material of manufacture.
Numismatists are well aware of these features. The value of a single coin depends on them. The following varieties are known: 10 rubles in 1993:
- Coin made of copper-nickel alloy coated steel, manufactured in Moscow.
- The same coin made in St. Petersburg.
- A money sign cast entirely from a copper-nickel alloy in Moscow.
- A similar copy made in St. Petersburg.
This money has one feature. The first two of them are made of steel. They are also called "magnetic".
This ability is easy to verify.It is only necessary to bring closer the usual magnet for the refrigerator, and he immediately draws a coin to himself. The other two types are made of a special alloy and do not have this ability.
Where is the money made?
All the money relating specifically to the Russian Federation began to be produced since 1992. They were made at two state enterprises, which are now called mints.
In our country there are only two of them:
- Moscow, which is officially considered founded in April 1942.
- St. Petersburg. In 1724 he was founded by Tsar Peter the Great himself.
Coin 10 rubles in 1993, like everyone elselike payment units, on the reverse has an alphabetic designation, by which you can easily determine the place where it was minted. In the first case, these are the three letters "MMD". In the second case, the letters changed, since from the beginning of the creation to the revolution it was St. Petersburg. Then until 1924 it was considered Petrograd. After that, until 1996, he was called Leningrad, and now he, after returning to his city of his name, again became St. Petersburg. In 1993, an image of "LMD" was minted on coins. Later, since 1996, this sign was placed on the obverse under the left paw of the lion.
Real price
Over time, coins of past years are perceived asrarity and acquire a completely different price. Some of them are recognized so rare that the cost can be increased at times. Usually such details are of interest to numismatists. These people collect bank notes based on their significance. In this regard, many are interested in the value of 10 rubles in 1993? This question can not be answered unambiguously. It all depends on the material from which it was made, and the enterprises where it was minted.
Therefore, all ten-ruble coins of 1993 issue are completely different. They can be divided conditionally into four different groups:
- All magnetic specimens made of steel,are not particularly valuable. They are issued in a rather large circulation and are currently out of circulation. But they can still be sold at a price of up to five rubles.
- Magnetic coins issued in those years in theLeningrad, do not look like the rest. They do not have the usual image of an eagle. All feathers have special cuts, except for four. One of them is on the trunk itself, and three are on the side. For such copies, you can get up to seven hundred rubles.
- Some of the non-magnetic coins of Moscow production can be sold for 1500-2000 rubles.
- The same specimens made in Leningrad are considered unique. At auctions, the price of these rare coins reaches seventy thousand.
Collectors try to have all varieties in order to be able to demonstrate the difference and emphasize the uniqueness of the rarest specimens.
