EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the obverse side of a trial print for a Rouble coin featuring Constantine Pavlovich, the grand prince or duke of Russia from 1779 to 1831. Created in 1825 by an anonymous Russian artist from the 19th century, this platinum print showcases remarkable detail and craftsmanship. Measuring at approximately 3.5 cm in diameter, this rare numismatic artifact is housed within the prestigious State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. The reverse side of this coin can be found under reference number BAL165763. Interestingly, despite its exquisite design and production quality, this particular coin was never used as intended. It was meant to become official currency during Constantine's reign; however, his younger brother Nicholas I ascended to the throne instead. The portrait on this trial print portrays Constantine with great dignity and regality. His profile exudes power and authority while capturing his striking Romanov features. This image serves as a testament to the rich history of Russian currency during that era. As we gaze upon this historical treasure captured by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded not only of its artistic value but also of the complex political dynamics that shaped Russia's monarchy during the early 19th century.
