Historical Insight:
The year 1910 sits within the final decade of Imperial Russia — a time of industrial growth, artistic brilliance, and mounting political tension. Just seven years later, the empire would fall, and the Romanov dynasty would come to a tragic end. Coins like this 10 kopeks piece thus represent not only a unit of currency but a fragment of a vanished world — one of elegance, autocracy, and deep contrasts.

Collecting Note:
Small silver coins of Nicholas II are highly sought after for their detailed engravings and historical significance. The “ЭБ” mint mark identifies the St. Petersburg Mint, one of the principal producers of the empire’s coinage. Collectors value well-preserved examples with visible crown and eagle details, as these were often worn from circulation.
