| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing draped bust of Empress Elizaveta Petrovna, her elaborate hair adorned with a pearl-studded coiffure and a small cross at the crown, wearing an imperial mantle fastened with a jewelled clasp over an armoured cuirass. A circular Cyrillic legend surrounds the effigy, reading from lower left to upper right. The mint mark СПБ (St. Petersburg) appears in the lower field beneath the truncation. The portrait is executed in high relief in the Baroque court style characteristic of mid-18th-century Russian coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Elizabeth's gold 2-rouble pieces occupy an awkward corner of Russian numismatic history — the denomination was never widely embraced commercially and existed largely as a prestige instrument of the imperial court. By 1756, Elizabeth had already reoriented Russian coinage policy significantly from her father Peter's reforms, and these small gold pieces circulated primarily among the nobility rather than in general trade.
The СПБ mintmark confirms St. Petersburg production, distinguishing this from Moscow-struck examples of the same type catalogued separately under C#23.1.
