General Info: Money... Money... Money...

 
Coming from Russia.   New commemorative banknote of 100 rubles.  It is a limited edition of 20 millions copies. The design is dedicated to Crimea. The front (left image) with the Swallow´s nest castle in Yalta. And the back (right image) with a collage of Sevastopol. The main image is the Monument to Sunken Ships. But the interesting part for us is this:
 
Khersonesskiy Lighthouse
E-5308 
 
This is a lighthouse that we saw before in stamps:
From the Soviet Union in 1982

From Ukraine in 2010



BONUS:

It is an old design,  but the 2016 version of Chicken Rock 10pence coin from Isle of Man is available now.
