Mystery coin.

I bought this coin in Bulgaria from a street merchant. I know nothing about it but it caught my eye.

If any Russians can translate and maybe give me some information on this coin it would be brilliant.

It's pretty big 6CM (2.4 inch) 0.5 cm thick and made of bronze.

Markings, on the sea front right side there is a number 87. (I assume that is the year it was made) and the makers mark which is an oval with what looks like the world Liml (or siml)

On the left hand side there is a long word: БAK^AHOB A (the ^ is an upside down V, ^ is all i could represent it with)

Thanks for any help.


EDIT: Here is a better picture of the text, I thought they could be viewed full size.



P.S. Sorry about the white crap at the bottom.

Dear Atheists

The Atheist community, i find, is an annoying one. Pretentious, almost like an elite club of enlightened individuals who are above the petty beliefs stemming from thousands of years of human culture.

Now that i have covered my little introduction and 90% of the atheists have navigated away i will talk a little about my own point of view so you can get a better understanding of my reasoning and logic.

I am Agnostic but let me evaluate, I do not believe in a personal god. I say that with 99% certainty. There is no 'god' being/force watching over us individually and guiding us - the very notion is ridiculous but as the logical human I am, i would also like to state that if there were a god i would be unable to contemplate it's complexity. The god being/force could watch over us all individually or at least time share like a CPU.

But is there a god? That is an entirely different question. The idea of a god as a creator is an entirely plausible one, just look at human research right now. In the next few years Synthetic life will be created by humans. To those synthetic organisms we are their god. Their biology is created by us and will be developed for tasks. Will we know what they think? No we wont - The humans who create the synthetic life will be a creator god but not a personal god. Will they know what we think or have a fraction of the understanding that we have? No.

the problem facing synthetic life is the potential damage it will do to our planet - the results of an artificial life form being introduced are impossible to imagine. What would be the the solution? a closed off environment is the only solution.

Now lets upscale this to an advanced species - our planet is a controlled environment in that no life forms leave it (apart from humans)

Could we be synthetic organisms created by an advanced species? if we are, then our creator is our god.

This is just an idea to illustrate my point, the term god is a vague one. I don't believe in any of the worlds religions gods because it's a human creation from thousands of years ago and they are illogical personal gods.

Could we have been created by a god? Anyone that says no with 100% certainty is simply ignorant which is why i dislike Atheists. If you want to proliferate the type of ignorance you are supposed to be 'fighting' by thinking that, then you are just fucking yourself.

The fact is we know nothing about our existence, what came before us, what lies ahead of us.

The best we have are theories and history cant tell us that allot of theories don't pan out. We act like we are an advanced species but all we have to compare with is other animals on our planet. Before i navigate away from the subject of how superior we believe our self to be remember that if an alien where to fly by earth in his little saucer scanning earth for radio waves 150 years ago he would fine nothing - zero existence of intelligent life.

Now I'm going to jump back to how superior we are to other life on our planet. How many animals have wars, torture, murder, prison, religion and execution? None, humans are the only species on earth that are so destructive.

Humans suck, I've said it before and I will say it again.

To summarize this sloppy message. I honestly think Agnostic is the only stand point a human can have at this stage in our existence. The creation of us and our universe is a topic that is very hard for us to understand from our minuscule view point. We can make predictions and do our calculations and come to the conclusion that the universe is expanding in a uniform pattern and as a result their must have been a big bang... blah blah blah.

Is that the truth or what actually happened - Nothing, a singularity and then everything. Sure that might be it, or it might not be. We could just be trying to apply our laws to a lawless individual. We can think and say what we want but at the end of the day it means nothing.

If you are atheist in the sense that you do not believe in a christian or other world religion's god then, i believe you are right as those religions all believe in personal gods (the bearded white man watching/judging us)

This was suppose to be a short one.

Have a nice day
