Russia. Nicolas II. 15 Kopeks 1916 - NGC MS63

RUSSIA. Osaka. 15 Kopeks. 1916. Nicholas II (1894-1917) - Value: 15 Kopeks. - Reign: Nicholas II (1894-1917). - Year: 1916. - Inscriptions: Obverse: Б.М. НИКОЛАЙ II ИМПЕРАТОРЪ И САМОДЕРЖЕЦЪ ВСЕРОСС. Reverse: 15 КОПѢЕКЪ · 1916. - Grade: MS63 (NGC). Silver 15 Kopeck coin minted in 1916 for the Russian Empire at the Osaka Mint (Japan), an extraordinary issue produced due to the limitations of the Russian industry during World War I. The obverse features the crowned, double-headed imperial eagle, holding the scepter and orb, bearing the Imperial shield and territorial shields on the wings, in a heraldic design of great richness and excellent definition. The reverse shows the denomination and date beneath the imperial crown, framed by an elegant open laurel-and-oak crown tied at the bottom with a ribbon. The specimen retains an attractive original luster with slight silver toning, well-defined relief, and clean fields with minor contact marks typical of the grade, maintaining an excellent visual presence consistent with the MS63 grade assigned by NGC. These Osakawed issues constitute an interesting testament to international cooperation during World War I and represent one of the most unique issues in the monetary series of the last Tsar of Russia.

This is a customs legal procedure and it is completely beyond our control. Thanks for your understanding.
