Journey back to the era of Tsarist Russia with this 1825 2 Kopeks coin from the reign of Alexander I, a pivotal figure in Russian history known for his leadership during the Napoleonic Wars. This coin, cataloged as KM# Tn8, is not just a piece of currency but a scarce artifact from an empire that once spanned continents.
Key Highlights:
  • Design: The obverse of the coin bears the crowned monogram of Alexander I, intricately designed with an imperial crown above, symbolizing the divine right and authority of the Tsar. The reverse features the denomination "2 КОПЕЙКИ" (2 Kopeks) encircled by a wreath, with the date "1825" prominently displayed below.
  • Mint Mark & Rarity: This coin features a scarce mint mark, making it a rare find. The mint mark adds significant collectible value, as it indicates a more limited production compared to common issues.
  • Material: Struck in copper, this coin reflects the economic conditions of the time, where copper was widely used for smaller denominations, serving as the daily currency of the Russian populace.
  • Historical Context: Issued during the last year of Alexander I's reign, this coin captures a moment of transition in Russian history, just before the Decembrist Revolt and the accession of Nicholas I. It's a tangible piece of the time when Russia was a major European power.
  • Condition: This coin, having survived nearly two centuries, exhibits the wear expected from its circulation, which adds to its authenticity and the storytelling aspect of its history.
