EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Russian gold coin from 1896, offering a glimpse into the rich history of the Russian Empire. The coin, with a denomination value of 25 roubles, features the regal head of Tsar Nicholas II, who tragically met his demise at the hands of Bolsheviks during the Russian Revolution. Adorned with Cyrillic text around its edge, which translates to "By the Grace of God Nicholas II Emperor (left) and Autocrat of All Russia (right)" this commemorative piece was struck to honor Tsar Nicholas II's coronation in 1894. Photographed in Moscow in March 2010 as part of an exhibit at the esteemed Russian State Precious Metals and Gemstones Collection Fund under the purview of the Russian Finance Ministry, this image captures not only historical significance but also symbolizes wealth and opulence. The circular shape and intricate design reflect both artistic craftsmanship and industrial advancements prevalent during that era. As we observe this single gold coin encased within its protective cut-out frame, it serves as a tangible reminder of Russia's imperial past. It evokes curiosity about life in late-19th century Russia while paying homage to one man's reign over an empire that spanned vast territories. This photograph invites us to appreciate both its beauty as a precious metal artifact and its historical importance within the context of tsardom.
