I have looked all over the different Coin Collecting sites, but with no letters, I have been unable to track this coin down. It's in good shape, but is a mystery to me.

Is it a Russian 10 ruble coin?

Probably not Russia- their coins typically indicate a denomination (kopeks or rubles).

I don't have my catalog available right now, but I'll take a stab at it and say it's from Austria.

I'd say Austria off the top of my head due to the double-headed eagle.

Well, I've already said German, and Russian imperial (here's a website)
http://members.aye.net/~cbgnkiro/ - but the Russian coins do look different.

I have SEEN this coin type before, as a kid (my grandfather collected). A lot of the foreign stuff he had WAS German.

This is really bugging me...

I've looked up other Austrian coins, and they all have a head or writing on them.
Gonna keep looking...

Austria 10 Heller 1916- catalog #KM2825, 14.8 million minted, valued at $2.00 in XF.

It helps when I have the book to look it up.
