Rare rouble struck in 1905 at the St. Petersburg Mint, with a mintage of only 20.551 pieces, making it one of the scarcest circulation roubles of Nicholas II.
The 1905 rouble was issued during a period of severe turmoil: the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905) and the Russian Revolution of 1905 shook the empire, undermining the foundations of autocracy. The limited mintage reflects the economic strain and restricted minting capacity of that time.
Due to its low mintage and dramatic historical context, this rouble is highly sought after by collectors and holds a special place among the issues of Nicholas II.
