Product Description:

This denomination of Russian currency was only produced for one year (1897) -

This extremely sought-after coin is not only for its beauty and for its high denominational value but for its history.

This coin is a symbol of the power and prestige the Romanov family once represented before it all came crashing down near the end of the Great War. In the communist era that followed the Monarchy in Russia, gold and silver coins were recalled by the state. It is remarkable that these coins exist at all today.

Obverse: Effigy of Czar Nicholas II

Reverse: Crowned double-headed Imperial eagle With ribbons on the crown Imperial eagle With ribbons on the crown
