Description: This Russia 1984 Popov commemorative 1 rouble is a unique addition to any coin collection. With a brass composition, this coin was circulated in the Russian Federation and is uncertified. The obverse of the coin features the Popov Commemorative Medal, while the reverse displays the Soviet Union crest. This coin is a great representation of USSR and is a must-have for any Russia or European coin enthusiast. Popov's work as a teacher at a Russian naval school led him to explore high-frequency electrical phenomena. On 7 May 1895, he presented a paper on a wireless lightning detector he had built that worked via using a coherer to detect radio noise from lightning strikes. This day is celebrated today in Russia as Radio Day. In a 24 March 1896 demonstration, he transmitted radio signals 250 meters between different campus buildings in St. Petersburg. His work was based on that of another physicist, Oliver Lodge, and contemporaneous with the work of Guglielmo Marconi.
