COIN DESCRIPTION
Minted from 1897 to 1911, Russian 5 Ruble Gold Coins mark the end of Russia’s last imperial dynasty: the House of Romanov. Containing .1244 Troy Ounces of .900 Pure Gold, each Russia 5 Ruble has a diameter of 18mm.
The reverse of each Russia 5 Ruble Gold Coin features the Imperial Coat of Arms, along with the seal of His Tsarist Majesty: a shielded and crowned double eagle, representing Russia, Kazan and Astrakhan.
Also called the pyatyórka (spelled пятёрка in Russian), the obverse of each 5 Ruble Gold Coin bears the left-facing portrait of Nicholas II—the ill-fated last Tsar of Russia.
Ruling from 1896 to 1917, Nicholas’ reign was shrouded in scandal. Several disastrous military campaigns, a withering economy, and his wife, Alexandra’s mysterious relationship with Rasputin (who she believed could heal her son’s hemophilia), led to the February Revolution of 1917.
