The 1852 EM Russia Denezhka (1/2 Kopeck), minted at the Yekaterinburg Mint (EM) under Tsar Nicholas I, is a rare and historically significant piece of Russian imperial coinage. This small-denomination copper coin features the imperial double-headed eagle on the obverse and the denomination within a wreath on the reverse. Graded Very Fine (VF), it retains clear design details with moderate wear, reflecting its circulation during the mid-19th century. Struck during Nicholas I’s reign, this coin exemplifies Russia’s efforts to standardize its monetary system for everyday transactions. A must-have for collectors of Russian imperial coins, 19th-century European numismatics, or small-denomination currency, the Denezhka offers a tangible link to the economic life of imperial Russia.

Nicholas I (1826-1855)
Nicholas I (1826-1855) – Nikoláy I Pávlovich, 6 July 1796 – 2 March 1855) reigned as Emperor of Russia, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Finland from 1825 until his death in 1855. He was the third son of Paul I and younger brother of his predecessor, Alexander I. Nicholas inherited his brother's throne despite the failed Decembrist revolt against him. He is mainly remembered in history as a reactionary whose controversial reign was marked by geographical expansion, economic growth, and massive industrialisation on the one hand, and centralisation of administrative policies and repression of dissent on the other. Nicholas had a happy marriage that produced a large family; all of their seven children survived childhood.
