Really great find, congratulations! 👍🏼

Fantastic find and would really like to see it cleaned a little more.

Don't let the politicians over there see it as it may cause a Russia investigation on it.

came out this beast of a coin,the largest and heaviest coin i ever found and.......on a beach!!!!!

It is a 5 kopecks from Catherine the Great Empress of Russia .

'Great' find!  Do you know the composition?  Have you weighed it?  Run your Equinox over it to get a digital TID?  Appears to have held up nicely in the wet salt sand.  It's a bit difficult for me to surmise the size with only it in the closeup picture, so if you do rephoto would you mind putting in something to give us a feel for the scale?

What a huge coin!    Talk about dragging the britches down.  A pocket full of those would pull my pants down.

For USA reference/comparison, that's very close to equivalent to the weight of 2x 90% silver dollars and a bit over the combination of a $20 gold piece and $10 gold piece.  Also equivalent in weight to five of the later Large Cents.

Yeh, I'd say that's pretty hefty!
