House of Emirates® is thrilled to offer its elite clientele this extraordinary imperial silver masterpiece, a tangible echo of power, ambition, and destiny struck in the heart of 19th-century Europe.
This Russian-Polish 1.5 Roubles – 10 Zlotych coin, minted in 1836 at the Warsaw Mint under Tsar Nicholas I (1825–1855), stands as a symbol of dominance and dual sovereignty, uniting Russian imperial authority with Polish monetary identity. Weighing an impressive 30.84 grams of solid silver, the coin commands attention with its monumental presence, rich tonality, and unmistakable gravitas that only true historical artifacts possess.
The obverse presents a laurel-and-oak wreath embracing the powerful bilingual denomination “1½ RUBLE – 10 ZŁOTYCH,” a design that speaks quietly yet firmly of controlled unity and political reality. The reverse is nothing short of majestic: the crowned double-headed eagle of the Russian Empire spreads its wings in defiant symmetry, bearing heraldic shields and regalia that proclaim absolute rule.
Catalogued as Bitkin 1132 and marked “MW” for Warsaw, this issue is highly sought after by advanced investors of imperial Russian and Polish coinage, prized for both its artistry and historical weight. An edge dent is present, serving not as a flaw but as an authentic scar of time, reinforcing the coin’s genuine journey through nearly two centuries of European history.
In an era where ancient coins are emerging as a powerful alternative asset class, this Nicholas I silver issue transcends mere collectibility and enters the realm of legacy investment. It is a piece for those who understand that true value lies not only in rarity and silver content, but in narrative, authority, and survival. To own this coin is to hold a frozen moment of empire, conflict, and control — a dramatic relic that continues to whisper its story to those wise enough to listen.
