Numismatics is a very common hobby. Many people are ready for many years to look for a coin that is missing in their collection. And sometimes such a found coin is very expensive.
Unique coins of the early 90s
People ignorant of numismatics are often surprised: how are some coins so different from others? And indeed, a rush is created around some coins. For example, 20 rubles in 1992. This coin is very popular among numismatists. No less popular is its "companion" - a ten-ruble coin of the ninety-second year.
It would seem strange: in the first years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, money was so devalued that coins of such a denomination, as a rule, were not even taken to a store with them. What has changed now? Nowadays, the value of some coins issued during these years reaches tens of thousands of current rubles.
Features of the magnetic twenty
Virtually no different from their non-magnetized "relatives", 20 rubles of 1992 are nevertheless appreciated quite high. This is primarily due to the fact that they are made of steel coated with a special alloy consisting of copper and nickel. They were produced only by the Moscow Mint and, accordingly, were stamped with the abbreviation MMD.
An ignorant person will not even be able to distinguish these magnetized 20 rubles in 1992 from the same-looking, but not magnetic coins. You can do this by eye, unless using a magnetized surface.
Connoisseurs are aware of another distinguishing feature of 20 rubles in 1992. These are eagle feathers on the back. In one issue, on the wings of an eagle, all feathers have notches, in the second, two eagle feathers remained without notches.
But most importantly, do not forget that some 20 rubles of 1992 were magnetized. In this, as well as in a very small batch of release, their basic value consists.
These coins are valued by our and foreign collectors. Good luck with their hobbies!
