The gold 5 Rouble of Nicholas II ranks among the most elegant imperial Russian coins, and this 1904 example from the St. Petersburg Mint is certified at a gem MS-66 level. Nicholas II issued these small gold roubles throughout his reign as the last Tsar of the Russian Empire. The St. Petersburg Mint struck them to a consistently high standard, and survivors in gem condition are genuinely scarce.

The obverse carries a right-facing portrait of Nicholas II with the Cyrillic legend identifying him as Emperor and Autocrat of All Russia. The portrait is well-struck with bold hair detail and sharp relief against the coin's smooth field. The reverse displays the Imperial Russian double-headed eagle surmounted by three crowns, with the denomination "5 Rublei" and date 1904 inscribed below in crisp Cyrillic lettering.

ICG has certified this coin MS-66, reflecting full mint luster, vibrant orange-gold surfaces, and virtually no post-mint disturbances. The strike is sharp throughout, with strong definition on the eagle's feathers and the portrait's fine detail. Russian imperial gold in gem grades draws consistent collector interest, and this 5 Rouble is a fine representative of the type. For those seeking a high-grade example of pre-revolutionary Russian gold, this coin delivers. The coin pictured is the exact coin you will receive.
