1269 Rollandia (1930 SH) is an asteroid in the outer asteroid belt discovered on September 20, 1930, by G. Neujmin at Simeis. It is one of the last asteroids that are above roughly 100 km in diameter discovered orbiting in the outer asteroid belt. IRAS data suggests the asteroid is 105.2 ± 2.8 km in diameter.^[1] 1390 Abastumani was discovered in 1935 and 1902 Shaposhnikov was discovered in 1972.
