Not so odd. France was hugely influential in Russia 250 years ago, in fact many/most aristocrats and hangers on spoke french in preference to Russian. That effect hangs on in the large number of French import words in the language.

All things French were in vogue. These jetons most likely were simply the belongings of some Russian bloke. Jetons were not coinage, they were tokens in lieu of coins, and thus had no fixed reference point for date - no need to melt and recast when a new king came to power so they'd be in use until worn out and over time become dispersed very widely.

Andrew is correct but I would note the strong tilt from Northern European nations towards France by Russia was in fact only in the last 200 years.

Ukraine will obviously try, but, beware that the Dutch may intercede in some way... ;D

I suspect Iceland will have a stronger claim.

‘Scythians: Warriors of Ancient Siberia’ at British Museum, London

http://www.blouinartinfo.com/news/story/2358014/scythians-warriors-of-ancient-siberia-at-british-museum

"British Museum, London is displaying the history of Scythians, powerful nomadic tribes from Siberia."


? ? ? ?

And I thought Confederate needed a map.  :chuckle:

The Scythian's while there area of range or control reached the edges of Siberia were in no way 'from Siberia'

NB: As I recall a large group of these items are in limbo in Amsterdam over control to which museum?   Mark kan je deze draad/onderwerp herinneren?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scythians

Above is a fairly short overview of the Scythians. But a map shows there range and power. I suspect the Scythians became the prototype Cossacks, but am not entirely sure, there is almost 1,000 years between.

Mark, Is noting a collection of 'Scythian' artifacts that are now disputed. It has become complicated by numerous countries claims.
