Russian coins.
Me too, mainly imperial, commie coins don't appeal to me anymore.
I am also interested in coins from Austria-Hungary and some of the kingdoms of Balkan (Serbia, Romania, Montenegro and Bulgaria).
I have expensive interests

Low relief
Hig relief
Composition: Silver 900/000
Weight: 20g
Diameter: 35mm
Mintmasters:
BC = Viktor Smirnov (1913-1917)
This coin was minted in 1913 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty. It depicts the first Romanov-tsar, Mihail Fjodorovits and the last russian emperor Nicholas II who actually wasn't a Romanov but a Holstein-Gottorp. There are two different versions of this coin, one with higher and one with lower relief. High relief variety is one of the most common coins of Russian Empire, and and uncirculated specimen is valued about 40-60 USD. Uncirculated low relief may be over $100 due its smaller mintage (50000 pcs). Price could(and should) be higher, but because the variants aren't widely known it stays relatively low.

These large silver coins were minted in St.Petersburg from 1895 to 1915, in Paris at 1896 and 1898, and in Brussels at 1896, 1897 and 1899. Actually there are many types of this coin, atleast six different portraits were used.
Coins minted in 1900's are generally more difficult to obtain than the older ones.

This beautifull coin was minted in 1896 to commemorate the coronation of the new emperor, Nicholas II. It depicts Nicholas II and the symbols of the imperial power. The legend says approximately: "Nicholas II by the grace of God, emperor and autocrat of all Russia, crowned in Moscow 1896th year". This coin is quite sought after and an uncirculated specimen may cost over 200 dollars, though still one of the common coins.
Nicholas was crowned in 14th of May, 1896 in Moscow.
