History of appearance

The first 5 gold rubles were minted back in Elizabethan times, however, it was rather a sign of royal favor for special services to the fatherland. Since then, this denomination has been issued by every emperor up to Nicholas II.

The beginning of the reign of Nicholas II was marked by a number of key reforms. First of all, the changes affected monetary circulation. The gold standard was introduced and the ruble was devalued, which also affected the 5 ruble denomination. In the first two years after Nicholas II came to power (1895-1896), so-called semi-imperials were issued.

After devaluation, the banknote lost a third of its value and its pompous name, becoming simply a five-ruble note.

He holds the attributes of royal power (orb and scepter). On the chest there is a shield with St. George the Victorious, on the wings - with the coats of arms of the eight kingdoms that were part of the empire.

Price table depending on condition

The price of gold banknotes from the time of Nicholas II varies greatly depending on their state of preservation. After all, the coins have been in circulation for more than one or two years, some even more than 10 years. And 900 gold is a soft metal, highly susceptible to abrasion and deformation.

Cost of gold coins of Nicholas 2

Today, Nikolaev “chervonets” and “fives” serve the same function as in the tsarist era: they are used as a means of savings. The price of such coins is tied to the cost of gold (although it is slightly higher than the price of “scrap”), and varies depending on the world quotations of this noble metal.

Prices for coins of 7.50 and 15 rubles strongly depend on the degree of their preservation and are not so clearly tied to gold exchange rates - they were minted for only one year and the collection component of their value is much higher than that of fives and chervonets.
