RARE 1915 Russian 20 Kopecks (ВС) – Nicholas II Coin, PROOF

The 1915 Russian 20 Kopecks (ВС) coin from the reign of Nicholas II is an exceptionally rare and highly sought-after issue — particularly in PROOF condition. Struck at the St. Petersburg Mint in .500 fine silver, this piece represents one of the final and finest examples of Imperial Russian coinage before the fall of the Romanov dynasty and the end of Tsarist rule.

The obverse features the regal Imperial double-headed eagle, crowned and holding the orb and scepter, surrounded by finely detailed coats of arms representing Russia’s territories. The reverse displays the denomination “20 КОПЕЕК 1915”, framed by laurel and oak wreaths tied with a ribbon below, and the mintmark ВС beneath the date — identifying its St. Petersburg origin.

This 1915 20 Kopecks PROOF coin is struck with extraordinary detail and mirror-like precision, exhibiting frosted devices and deeply reflective fields. Proof coins from this year were produced in extremely limited quantities, often for presentation or collector purposes, making surviving examples exceedingly scarce.

Composed of .500 silver, this coin weighs 3.6 grams and measures 21 mm in diameter. It remains in stunning PROOF condition, showcasing exceptional strike quality, mirror surfaces, and flawless preservation — a remarkable survival from the twilight of Imperial Russia.

For collectors of Imperial Russian silver, Nicholas II proofs, or rare pre-revolutionary coins, the 1915 Russian 20 Kopecks PROOF is a true numismatic treasure — combining historical significance, rarity, and striking beauty.
