Russia
Kiev Hexagonal Shaped silver Ingot (Grivna) ND (11th-13th century) XF, Spassky-43. 77x41mm. 160.08gm. Cast in pre-Mongol Russia (Kiev, Novgorod, and Chernigov), these bars were uniform in weight (approximate 160gm) and used in trade and taxation. Kiev was destroyed in 1240 by hordes, therefore the issuance of these very rare type ingots ceased. This example is in superior condition.
