1895–1917 Russia 1-20 Kopek Nicholas II 4-pc Set w/Stamp

Kill The Russian Czar And Obliterate His Legacy

In 1918, the Bolsheviks overthrew the government of Czar Nicholas II. Soon after taking Nicholas prisoner, they convicted him of crimes against the state and he, his wife, their five children, family doctor, maid and cook were herded into a small room where they were unceremoniously executed under direct orders from Vladimir Lenin in Moscow. ­

An Attempt To Destroy Everything Bearing The Czar’s Image

The purge didn’t end with the murder of the Romanov family. The Bolsheviks wanted a clean break with the past and to that end they sought to scrub all traces of Imperial Russia from the history books. When you want to erase someone from history, however, it takes a lot of work. So, in addition to overthrowing the government and murdering Nicholas and his family, the Bolsheviks attempted to destroy anything and everything bearing the Czar’s image — and that included these copper and silver Kopeks bearing the Romanov family crest.

The Pocket Change Of Russia’s Last Czar

Needless to say, this four-piece set of Nicholas II Kopeks (1, 3, 10 and 20 Kopek) in Circulated condition was not easy to assemble. With a date range of 1895 to 1917, each coin was struck more than 100 years ago! Two are copper (1 and 3 Kopek) and two are struck in 50% fine silver (10 and 20 Kopek). You also get a Czar Nicholas II stamp, and the whole set comes beautifully housed in a deluxe wood presentation case with a detailed story card.

The Sainthood Of Nicholas II

The story is fascinating and embodies sainthood and a funeral in 1998. Reviled by many during his lifetime — thanks in large part to waves of self-serving Soviet propaganda, history has taken a less negative view of Nicholas II since his murder more than a century ago. He, his wife the Empress Alexandria and their children have been canonized as Martyrs by the Russian Orthodox Church and Nicholas himself was venerated as Saint Nicholas The Passion-Bearer. As you might expect, all this history mixed with religious fervor has made these coins quite popular among collectors, historians, and Orthodox Christians around the world. As such, availability is limited!

Don’t miss this opportunity to own these historic coins struck during the tragic reign of Nicholas II — the last czar of Imperial Russia. So, act now; order yours today!
