1 Ruble ** & 50 Kopecks 1899 ЭБ 1 Ruble of 1899 ** Brussels A portion of the Russian ruble coins was minted at the Brussels Mint. As before, the portrait of Nicholas II after the 1897 design served as the model. In this contract, Brussels minted 10,000,000 silver rubles according to the all-Russian standard. After that, the minting of ruble coins was carried out exclusively in Saint Petersburg. 50 Kopecks 1899 ЭБ. 1899 was not only a transition year, but a double one, since three men headed the Mint: Apollon Grashof, Elikum Babayants and Felix Zaleman. This explains the variety of symbols on gold and silver coins from that year. Only the 1899 half-ruble coin can boast that all three mintmasters inscribed their initials on the edges: “АГ”, “ЭБ” and “ФЗ”. Furthermore, the coin with the letters “ЭБ” is the rarest. The price for such coins reaches €15,000. Please refer to the detailed photos for the condition. Photos are part of the description.
