Interesting fact
The coin features an image of Nicholas II, the last emperor of Russia, on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) bears an image of the Imperial eagle, a symbol of the Russian Empire. The coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Russia, as the country was experiencing political unrest, economic difficulties, and military defeats, which ultimately led to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the abdication of Nicholas II. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a popular collector's item and a piece of history that speaks to the rich cultural heritage of Russia.
