EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a gold coin of the regent Sophia Alekseyevna, dating back to the period between 1682 and 1687. Crafted by talented numismatics artists in Russia, this exquisite piece is now housed in the prestigious State Hermitage collection in St. Petersburg. The image evokes a sense of power and authority as it depicts an era marked by political turmoil and power struggles within the Russian monarchy. Sophia Alekseyevna, acting as regent during Peter I's minority, was a formidable woman who navigated through rebellion and arrest to maintain her position on the throne. The gold coin itself symbolizes not only wealth but also sovereignty, reflecting the aristocracy and nobility associated with Russian monarchs. It serves as a tangible reminder of Sophia's reign and her influence over Moscow at that time. Behind this historical artifact lies a complex narrative of uprising and intrigue involving Strelets troops, palace guardsmen known as streltsy, who played significant roles in Moscow's political landscape during this period. Through this photo print, we are transported back to an important chapter in Russian history when Sofia Alekseyevna held immense power as regent tsarevna. This visual representation allows us to appreciate both the fine artistry involved in creating such coins and their significance within Russia's rich cultural heritage.
