1897 Russia 5 Roubles – Nicholas II – St. Petersburg Mint – .900 Gold
This listing presents an 1897 Russian Empire 5 Roubles gold coin issued during the reign of Tsar Nicholas II. Struck at the Saint Petersburg Mint following Russia’s late-19th-century monetary reforms, this coin represents a standard circulation gold issue of the imperial period. The obverse features a left-facing portrait of Nicholas II with Cyrillic inscriptions denoting his imperial titles. The reverse displays the crowned double-headed eagle of the Russian Empire, bearing the national coat of arms, with the denomination “5 РУБЛЕЙ” and the date “1897” below. Coins of this type were struck to a consistent weight and fineness under the gold standard and are widely collected today for both numismatic and intrinsic value.
