Original – Russian Empire, Nicholas I ruble silver coin (1836). Nicknamed the Family Ruble, this unusually denominated coin (1½ ruble and 10 złoty depicts Nicholas I on the obverse and his family on the reverse: Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna (center) surrounded by Alexander II as Tsarevich, Maria, Olga, Nicholas, Michael, Konstantin, and Alexandra.

Reason

High quality image, high EV, very good condition, dual-denominated (in both rubles and złoty), and a fairly unusual design.
