Special facts
Nicholas II’s quarter-kopek of 0.82 grams. In 1896–1898 it was struck at Birmingham and in 1899–1900 at the Rosenkranz works in Petersburg, while the mint was busy with the gold and silver of the reform.
About the period
The coins of Nicholas II are gold-standard coins: the Witte reform of 1897 tied the rouble to gold, and gold coins circulated freely alongside credit notes until the First World War. More about the period “Nicholas II”, 1894 — 1917
