Several Pre-Soviet Russian Gold Coins Still Exist

When the Communists took the power over Russian Empire, they were not satisfied with the idea of only overthrowing the tsar Nicholas II's. They rushed into confiscating everything that was related to the murdered tsar. They destroyed paintings, books, statues, manuscripts, etc. In addition they eagerly and unceremoniously destroyed gold coins that embodied the portrait of the famous Russian tsar. These coins are quite valuable as they represent the end of the Romanov dynasty and mark the Imperial Russia's last great decade.

Even though the Communists were very cruel in their efforts to destroy every thing that would remind of Nicolas II's, a few coins bearing the image of the tsar survived. Those individuals who were caught holding a coin with the image of the tsar on it were dragged out into the street and shot. Although the Communists' punishments were too strict and severe, some coins from pre-Soviet Russia are preserved in good condition.
FYI. Notice the despotism of the Communists. In United States those persons who were caught hoarding gold coins were exposed to a fine, not to death like in pre-Soviet Russia.

Here below are presented several coins that survive for you today in any condition in spite of the ruthless behavior of the Communists. They are the following:
The Russian Gold 5 Ruble coins passed through the bloody Russian Revolution, the economic upheaval of the 1930s. Moreover, they survived the Nazi invasion during World War II and the collapse of the Communist Empire in the early 1990s.

According to some informational sources Russian Gold 5 Ruble coins were directly stored in the vaults of Russia's Central Bank. What purpose they were set aside for? The answer to the posed question may never be known. However, it was estimated that these coins were overlooked by the Communists. Fortunately the amount of 200 Russian Imperial Gold 5 Ruble coins were forgotten until they were discovered by the bank' employees who searched through the vaults following the end of the Communist government in 1992. The new Russian Federation and namely the Central Bank encapsulated each coin with a sealed display holder. Nowadays these coins represent a quite valuable treasure for collectors as they are the most collected Russian coins in the world.
