1899 Russia Nicholas II 10 Roubles Gold Coin
Product Description:
Nicholas II's reign was marked by significant political, social, and economic challenges. His leadership was characterized by a combination of autocratic rule, resistance to political reforms, and a disconnect from the needs of the Russian people. Russia faced numerous problems during his reign, including widespread poverty, industrial unrest, and the disastrous Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905.
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
