Found a Kopek

[Interloper]

1937.
Height of Soviet involvement in the Spanish Civil war.
Purge of the Red Army and one of the worst Purge years in general. Lot's of history in that coin.

Now that is cool.

Extremely cool. If it were me, I would keep it in the ammo pouch.

Great find. Love surprise's.

maybe it was the soldiers lucky coin? or perhaps his monthly salary he kept hidden so he wouldnt spend it at the bar!

I found dice in the butt trap of a '44 G43, well just one die wrapped with the spare extractor/keeper in waxed paper. Just stuck up in there tight.

Maybe the 1937 kopek was a lucky coin Gramp's gave him. I can't see some knacker sticking it in there or another way could have been a worker wishing to show the man at the front support.

Cool find. I still have a picture of the die and extractor with a bit of the paper. I will have to dig them up. I would keep that coin as some good luck came your way.

Cheers
