This is a 3-kopek copper coin issued in AD 1854 during the reign of Tsar Nicholas I of Russia.

The obverse of the coin features the emblem of the Russian Empire, a double-headed eagle. Due to its age, the details of the emblem are heavily worn, and the image of St. George slaying the dragon on the shield has faded entirely. However, it is still possible to discern the crown atop the eagle’s heads and that its claws hold a sceptre on one side and an orb with a cross on the other.

The reverse side of the coin features a wreath design, with the denomination “3 КОПѢЙКИ” (3 kopecks) and the minting year “1854” inscribed within the wreath. Below the horizontal line is the abbreviation “Е.М.,” representing the Ekaterinburg Mint.

In AD 1825, Nicholas I ascended to the throne as Tsar following the death of his elder brother, Alexander I. During his reign, Nicholas I vigorously suppressed liberalism and nationalist movements, particularly those represented by Poland. In AD 1853, he sought to expand Russia’s influence over the Balkans, which led to a military conflict known as the Crimean War, involving the Ottoman Empire, Britain, and France. The war ended with Russia’s defeat, and Nicholas I himself passed away before the armistice was signed.

這是一枚公元1854年,俄羅斯沙皇尼古拉一世在位期間發行的面額3戈比銅幣。

錢幣正面有一個象徵俄羅斯帝國的雙頭鷹國徽,由於年代久遠,國徽的細節已經嚴重磨損,例如盾牌內的聖喬治屠惡龍的圖像已經消失,但仍能大致認出鷹徽的頭上有一頂王冠,鷹爪的兩側各抓著一根權杖和一顆帶球十字架。

錢幣背面有一道花環,花環內部標示硬幣的面額「3 КОПѢЙКИ」(3戈比)和鑄造年份「1854」,橫線下方是葉卡捷琳堡造幣廠的簡寫「Е.М.」。

公元1825年,尼古拉一世繼承兄長亞歷山大一世的王位成為沙皇。尼古拉一世在位期間,大力打壓自由主義和波蘭為代表的民族主義運動。公元1853年,更因為意圖擴張俄羅斯對於巴爾幹半島的影響力,和鄂圖曼土耳其、英國和法國爆發克里米亞戰爭的軍事衝突。戰爭以俄羅斯的戰敗畫下終止,尼古拉一世本人則在停戰之前病逝。
