History of the Artifact
Now available to you are original Crimean war lead bullets used during the conflict.
The Crimean War was the first conflict in which these kinds of bullets, hollow based with spiral grooves, came to prominence effectively substituting the old fashioned musket balls. This modern bullet model is also known as the ‘Minié Ball’ - named after its French inventor Claude Minié. Given its innovative features, the Minié ball, unlike its simple musket ball counterpart, allowed for greater effective range and accuracy.
These bullets were first used in large scale during the Crimean War (1853 and 1856), a conflict which saw the Russians fighting against an alliance of France, the United Kingdom, the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia. The Minie ball played an important role in this conflict as it offered French and British soldiers a range and accuracy advantage which decimated the ill-equipped Russians lines.
The same bullets that decimated Russian troops at the battles of Balaklava and Sevastopol are now made available to you neatly protected inside our elegant glass top leather cases ready to be displayed in your collections!

I ordered this coin for my grandson, he loves anything Roman history and was thrilled. I didn’t receive the authentic certificate with it, I contacted the seller and asked if he could send one out to him. He responded right away and is sending it right out. I would recommend to everyone. Very good customer service and arrived early.

The delivery took quite a while, but this has nothing to do with the saler. I am very happy with my purchase, having a real piece of history in my home is really cool. The little display case looks nice and sturdy.
Fast shipping came in great condition well package.
Coin is very beautiful. Five stars.
All perfect packaging and excellent delivery times. It was a real pleasure
The button arrived upside down in the display case so I had to open it up and fix it before gifting. Other than that everything was great! Neat gift.
Fast shipping, the coin came with COA and was exactly as pictured! Thank you!
Gorgeous object. However, I would have preferred more details in his description.
Comes with the little display case and everything advertised in the picture. Awesome store

I like the coin a lot, it is a very nice piece of history. Fits perfectly in to my collection. Delivery was on time and packaging very good. The case that it is in is just so nice it looks like in a museum. :)
Amazing! I love both the coins I got from here!! I can’t wait to give them to their recipients for Christmas!
The Coin and case is awesome! The only additional thing that could make it perfect would be a little description of what/who the coin faces represent and possibly where the specific coin was found. Otherwise very content
