This Russian Imperial 1896 Coronation Rouble replica commemorates one of the most significant events in the history of the Romanov dynasty — the coronation of Tsar Nicholas II in Moscow. The obverse features a right-facing portrait of Nicholas II surrounded by the Cyrillic inscription B.M. Nikolai II Imperator i Samoderzhets Vserossiysky... Koronovan v Moskve 1896 G. — "By the Grace of God, Nicholas II, Emperor and Autocrat of All Russia... Crowned in Moscow 1896." The reverse displays the Imperial crown suspended above the crossed sceptre and orb of Russia, framed within an elegant wreath of oak and laurel branches, with Rubl (Rouble) inscribed above.
The 1896 Coronation Rouble is one of the most iconic commemorative coins ever struck by the Imperial Russian Mint, issued to mark the coronation ceremony held at the Dormition Cathedral in the Moscow Kremlin on 26 May 1896. This 30mm brass replica faithfully reproduces the extraordinary portrait and Imperial regalia detail of the original. This piece is a Russian Imperial historical collectible coin designed for display and collection.
About the Design
Nicholas II was the last Emperor of Russia, reigning from 1894 until his abdication in 1917. His coronation in Moscow in 1896 was one of the grandest ceremonies in European royal history, attended by dignitaries from across the world. The coronation rouble was struck as an official commemorative issue, featuring the Imperial regalia — crown, sceptre, and orb — that symbolised the full authority of the Romanov autocracy. Today these coins are among the most sought-after pieces in Imperial Russian numismatics, and this replica allows collectors to own a faithful reproduction of this landmark piece.
