The Rosebud Egg (1895), the first Faberge egg presented by Tsar Nicholas II to his bride Alexandra. Once opened, this strawberry red egg with a diamond Cupid's arrow reveals a yellow enameled rosebud, which blooms to disclose a ruby and diamond-set Imperial crown.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2012 Niue $5 Gold Coin (Rosebud Egg) is that it features a unique egg-shaped design, which is unlike any other coin in the world. The coin's shape and design were inspired by the famous Fabergé eggs, which were intricately crafted eggs made by the Russian jeweler Peter Carl Fabergé in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for the Russian royal family. The Rosebud Egg coin's design is a nod to these historic eggs and adds an extra layer of uniqueness and collectibility to the coin.
