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.
