Obverse description Bare-headed effigy of Tsar Nicholas II facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and beard. The portrait occupies the central field and is modelled in a naturalistic style consistent with late Imperial Russian coinage. A circular Cyrillic legend surrounds the effigy, reading from lower left and continuing around the full periphery of the coin.

Reverse description Centrally positioned Imperial Russian double-headed eagle displayed with spread wings, each crowned, surmounted by a larger Imperial crown above; the breast bears a shield depicting St. George on horseback slaying the dragon. The eagle's talons grasp a sceptre to the left and an orb to the right. The denomination numeral 1 within a circle and the date 1894 appear in the lower exergue, flanked by the Cyrillic word ГОДА (year). A continuous beaded border frames the entire design.

Additional information

A fantasy piece issued by the Russian Federation in 2009, imagining a denomination that Nicholas II never actually produced in this form. These copper strikes have no monetary authority behind them and were never legal tender — they exist purely for the collector market, capitalizing on sustained commercial interest in the last Romanov tsar following the 1998 canonization of Nicholas II by the Russian Orthodox Church.
