Silver coin of 15 Kopeks minted at the Saint Petersburg Mint during the reign of Tsar Nicholas II, in the first year of Russia's involvement in World War I. The obverse features the crowned imperial double-headed eagle, with scepter and orb, bearing the Imperial coat of arms and the territorial shields on the wings, a heraldic composition of notable richness and artistic balance. The reverse shows the denomination and the date beneath the imperial crown, surrounded by an elegant open crown of laurel and oak branches joined by a ribbon at the bottom, following the characteristic design of the era's Russian divisionary coin. This specimen preserves an attractive original shine with soft silvery tones, well-defined reliefs and homogeneous fields, showing slight contact marks consistent with the MS62 grade awarded by NGC. It is a representative issue of the last silver strikes made in Saint Petersburg before the profound political and monetary transformations that led to the end of the Russian Empire in 1917.
