Special facts
The ruble for the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Gangut was struck in 1914, and in 1927 restrikes were made from the original dies. They are practically impossible to tell from the 1914 coins with certainty, so every piece needs expert authentication.
The coin never entered circulation
The rouble for the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Gangut was struck in 1914 in a very small edition of 317 pieces. The coin never entered circulation.
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
