Nicholas II Coronation Rouble 1896-AΓ MS65 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, KM-Y60, Dav-294, Bit-322. Commemorating his Coronation. Obv. Bare head left. Rev. Orb over scepter and sword crossed in saltire; garlanded crown above; all within wreath. An exquisite gem, featuring an incredibly radiant cartwheel appeal and majestic surfaces. The fields are virtually impeccable, while the argent central display is anchored by an iridescence and deeper tone near the peripheries. Tremendous eye-appeal abounds throughout and presents a thoroughly fulfilling ocular experience. Always a popular type, struck in commemoration of the coronation of this fabled final czar, the death of whom represented the end of the Romanov dynasty and czarist rule in Russia.
