The broadcast was scheduled for the day of the inauguration of the monument on June 25, 1859 (birthday of Nikolai Pavlovich – Nicholas I). There are two variants of the portrait. The first, more flat, is distinguished by the fine relief of the hair and narrow neck. On 12 June, five coins were issued and 25,000 pieces were ordered to be manufactured and, if not enough, 25,000 more were ordered.

The monument is a six-meter equestrian statue of Nicholas I of P. K. Claude, on a pedestal. The emperor is represented in the uniform of the equestrian Regiment guard. Four bas-reliefs, located on the pedestal, represent emblematic events of the reign of Nicholas I: the rebellion of the Decembrists in 1825; the Holocaust revolt in 1831 in Sennaya Square; the M. M. Speransky prize, which gathered and published in 1832 The “Arch of the laws of the Russian Empire” and the inauguration by The Emperor of the St. Petersburg – Moscow railway bridge in 1851.

The pedestal of the monument, in an elliptical form, is the work of Auguste Monferrand and is made of raspberry quartzite shokshinsky and Italian white marble; the baseboard is made of grey granite cerdobol.

The pedestal of the monument is adorned by four female allegorical figures representing "strength”, “wisdom”, ” justice “and "faith" (the heads of the figures are the images of the portraits of Empress Alexandra Fedorovna and the Daughters of Nicholas I —Mary, Alexandra and Olga); the horse is the beloved stallion Amalatbek.

The design of the front and back was given to medalists: the portrait of Alexander Lyapin, who from 1852 held the post of medals-in-chief and professor of engraving of the Academy, the monument recorded Vasili Alekseev, professor of the school in the house of the currency, which participates in the work of stamping since 1845 and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts of Paul Utkin.

Note that in the middle of the 19th century, in the Medal Chamber of the Saint Petersburg ECSC work up to thirty employees dedicated to the production of fists, with ten being medallions.

 

Did not quite understand all of that machine translated text, so I looked a few things up. The "Arch of the laws of the Russian Empire" is apparently Speransky's Collection of Laws, and the "Holocaust revolt" seems to refer to the Cholera Riots. Still an interesting monument and coin!

Thank you Christian for clarifications

 

Sorry. It is modern fake from China (rouble 1859).

 

Here is my 1903 Russian Kopek.

 

I do not think so. It was sold by a reputed russian auction house in more than 1000 euros.

 

Sir. I hope and wish that you are right. This coin is often forged in China. I was holding some fakes.

 

Me too. Thank you for your advice.

Ivan Antonovich's forbidden coins are coined with new dies for overheating. In rare specimens the edge of the previous coin is preserved (the inscription of St. Petersburg on the rubles of Elisabeta is the same as in the rubles of Ivan and Moscow-has clovers between words instead of stars).
