Customs officers stopped the illegal export of an ancient coin to Mongolia

Officers of the Khandagaiti DAPP customs post of the Krasnoyarsk customs revealed an 18th century coin in the car of a Russian traveling to Mongolia.

Customs officers found a copper coin with the nominal value of 2 kopecks in the glove compartment of the vehicle of a 25-year-old resident of Tyva. Expert examination later determined that it was minted in the Russian Empire in 1800 and is of cultural value

The export of such a coin required the submission to the customs authority of an authorization document issued by a territorial body of the Ministry of Culture of Russia, as well as a passenger customs declaration. However, the man did not execute any documents

He also faces administrative punishment under Article 16.3 of the CAO RF (non-compliance with prohibitions and restrictions). The coin has been seized, its fate will be determined by the court
