Yesterdays best find. It wasn't that easy to research which coin this is and especially from which year. But I finally did manage to do that, it is Russian kopek from 1710, not so common find :) I have found few younger kopeks before but never this old.

Edit. This actually might be from 1713, not quite sure.

Very good research and that kopek is in good shape
for such an old Russian coin.

Some parts of Finland ground is already frozen but not in the West part where I live, it's been like -2°C to 5°C so I can still dig. I'm going again today after work :)

Very nice early 1700s coin!
I'm assuming the date is represented by Cyrillic letters, rather than numbers?
