how big are the 5 kopeks (diameter)? about the size of US Half dollar, maybe?

Diameter: 25 mm. Weight: 5 grams.
The Soviet coins have the surprising fact. Coins face value 1, 2, 3, 5 kopeks have respectively weight in 1, 2, 3 and 5 grams

Ok Thanks, 25mm would make the 5 kopek smaller than a US quarter and larger than a US nickle, with the same weight as a US nickle. Are there any Russian coins that are 30mm or larger?

enjoy the hunt,

Edited to add:

Wow! One gram!?! That's more than twice as light as a US dime (2.2g)...better watch that coin in strong, gusty wind.

think measurement may off

Man....my sizing is waaay off (I think I had pre 1830-ish quarter diameters mixed up with modern, plus I need to get better at metrics, lol). That looks to be just about the size of Half...perfect. Thanks for the pic!

cheers,

I think he put the battery in the pic for size comparison, not one of his finds.

Welcome from Tennesseej, USA. I really enjoyed the pictures of the areas you are hunting in. It's very pretty there!

Yeah, about all I find lately is junk, LoL. He looks like he's got some beautiful hunting grounds and makes some cool finds. I'm curious to see more.

Vadim, thanks for all the coin information. I love hearing about the money from other places.

cheers,
