Gold coin 5 rubles Russia – Nicholas II
€600.00
The “Nicholas II 5-Ruble” gold coin was issued primarily at the St. Petersburg Mint from 1897 to 1911. Although millions of these coins were minted, most were melted down or lost. Therefore, today they are considered rare and highly sought after by collectors and investors.
The obverse of the coin depicts Nicholas II, The Emperor of Russia who reigned from 1896 to 1917. He was the last monarch of the Romanov dynasty, whose history came to an end in 1918, when the Bolsheviks assassinated the entire royal family. Before that, the Romanov line had ruled the Russian Empire for over 300 years, making it one of the most influential powers in the world.
The reverse depicts the coat of arms of the Russian Empire: a double-headed eagle with a medal on its chest, holding a scepter and orb in its talons. On the eagle’s wings are eight coats of arms, one for each kingdom that was part of the Russian Empire at the time: Poland, Tauric Chersonesus, Georgia, Siberia, the Kingdom of Canaan, the Principality of Kiev, the Principality of Finland, and Novgorod. The coin’s face value and year of issue are inscribed below the eagle.
