- Year: 1916.
- Inscriptions: Obverse: Б.М. НИКОЛАЙ II ИМПЕРАТОРЪ И САМОДЕРЖЕЦЪ ВСЕРОСС. Reverse: 15 КОПѢЕКЪ · 1916.

Silver coin of 15 Kopeks minted in 1916 for the Russian Empire at the Osaka Mint (Japan), an extraordinary issue produced due to the limitations of the Russian industry during World War I. The obverse features the crowned double-headed imperial eagle, with scepter and orb, bearing the imperial shield and territorial shields on the wings, in a heraldic design of great richness and excellent definition. The reverse shows the denomination and date under the imperial crown, framed by an elegant open crown of laurel and oak branches tied with a ribbon at the bottom. The specimen retains an attractive original luster with slight silvery tints, well-defined reliefs and clean fields with minor contact marks typical of the grade, maintaining an excellent visual presence commensurate with the MS63 certification by NGC. These Osaka-minted issues constitute an interesting testimony of international cooperation during World War I and represent one of the most singular issues of the currency series of the last Tsar of Russia.
