    Thanks Shep. I am proud of the 50 Roubles. The first time I saw one at a coin show I planned on buying it but after funding the wife's purchase I couldn't afford it. image Recently I saw this PR68 for sale and couldn't resist. image Darkside coins rule! image

    I'm game, who was Admiral Ushakov and what is his claim to fame?

    Admiral Ushakov is fondly remembered for not losing to the Imperial Japanese Navy.

    Admiral Fyodor Ushakov help build and lead the Russian Black Sea Fleet and never lost a battle, he was 40-0.

    Edited to add:
    Thanks Shipcoin! Both of the Admiral Nakhimov coins are on my want list but I have the 3 Rouble Y#415 Field Marshal Mikhail Kutuzov on the way in the meantime. image

    <<Both of the Admiral Nakhimov coins are on my want list >> --are you sure that you are looking only for two of them? As far as I remember, there were more than two coins with Naximov, may be some latest additions-large silvergold denominations image

    as for Kutusov--it will be interesting to see him, but my collection includes only sea-connected personalities image, although Kutusov is really outstanding hero in Russian Military History and history at all.
