Russia. Nicholas II. 5 Roubles 1898

Empire of Russia | Gold 900‰ | Historical coin
Iconic coin of the end of the Russian Empire, this 5-ruble gold coin minted in 1898 was issued during the reign of Nicholas II, the last Tsar of Russia.
At that time, Russia was one of the world's major powers and had fully adopted the gold standard, making that currency a key instrument of national and international exchanges.
This piece embodies the height of imperial splendor just before the major upheavals of the 20th century: World War I and the 1917 Revolution. It is today a direct testament to a vanished world, highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of historical numismatics.
