1913 Russian 50 Kopecks (ВС) – Nicholas II Coin, aUNC

The 1913 Russian 50 Kopecks (ВС) coin is a magnificent silver issue from the reign of Nicholas II, the last Emperor of Russia. Struck in .900 fine silver at the St. Petersburg Mint, this coin reflects the refined artistry and enduring prestige of Imperial Russian coinage before the fall of the monarchy.

The obverse displays the finely detailed portrait of Tsar Nicholas II, facing left, surrounded by the Cyrillic legend that translates to “By the Grace of God, Nicholas II, Emperor and Autocrat of All Russia.” The reverse features the Imperial Russian double-headed eagle, adorned with the national shields and regalia, crowned and holding the scepter and orb — a timeless symbol of royal power and unity.

Minted in 1913, the year of the Romanov Dynasty’s 300th anniversary, this coin represents one of the final chapters of Imperial Russia’s numismatic legacy. Its craftsmanship, elegance, and historical importance make it a centerpiece for collectors of pre-revolutionary Russian silver.

Composed of .900 silver, weighing 10 grams, and measuring 26.7 mm in diameter, this example remains in aUNC (about Uncirculated) condition, showing minimal signs of handling with full original mint luster and crisp relief detail.

A perfect addition for collectors of Nicholas II coinage, Imperial Russian silver, or early 20th-century European numismatics, the 1913 Russian 50 Kopecks coin offers both historical depth and enduring beauty — a true treasure from the twilight of the empire.
