Many people have probably heard or know of someone who collects coins. Maybe they collect old U.S. coins or unique coins that have been mis-manufactured. While all these coins certainly have value and are fun to collect, gold coins represent the pinnacle of collecting as there are not only a wide variety of coins to collect, but they are also guaranteed to retain their value considering the fact that most of them are 99.99% solid gold. In addition, there’s often a tremendous amount of craftsmanship placed into these gold coins which makes them not only beautiful to behold, but also great to put into a display case and show off to your friends.
However, for those strictly in it for the money, gold coins have historically been a very safe investment. In the last twenty years (starting in 1990), gold prices have more than doubled from around $400 per ounce to close to $1000 per ounce as of this article’s writing. Moreover, gold is considered to be one of the safest investments you can make due to the fact that it often follows the general expected inflationary trend of the economy. With other investments, like stocks or bonds, you’re betting that the interest/dividends you receive will beat inflation. But the gold prices often track and exceed that of inflation. Couple that with the fact that coins made of gold are collectors’ items, and it’s not to hard to see why these coins will almost invariably just increase in value.
It’s imperative that any person diversify their portfolio as much as possible and gold coins represent an excellent way to do that. Having physical gold on hand is not only great to look at, but it also represents a level of security that certificates of gold or other gold investments can’t bring. The gold is in your hands and the coins themselves will become increasingly rare. You’ll belong to a sort of elite club of collectors and that will be something of which you can be proud!

Russian Gold Rubles
The most popular gold coin from Russia is the gold Ruble or Rouble, all contaning .900 pure gold. The 5 gold Rubles were minted from 1897-1915 and each weighs 4.3 grams. Minted from 1897-1911, the 10 Ruble gold coins were added having a weight of 8.6 grams. The coins were minted at the St. Petersburg Mint, where Alexander Redko and Appolon Grasgov worked as skillful mintmasters. Alloys are added to maintain hardness and durability. The obverse of these historic gold coins features a bust of Czar Nicholas II, beautifully sculpted, facing left, and the legend reads, "By God's Will, Nicholas II, Emperor and Autocrat of All Russia." The reverse displays the crowned, Russian imperial double-headed eagle, with shield on its breast, decorated with the image of St. George slaying the dragon, and the reverse legend gives the denomination and the date of issue. Nicholas II, the last Czar of Russia, ruled from 1896 to 1917, when he was forced to abdicate. In brilliant uncirculated condition and struck nearly a century ago, a cache of his coins was reportedly stored in the vaults of Russia's Central Bank, even during the communist rule. They were discovered by the bank's employees, who searched through the vaults, following the end of the Communist government in 1992. The new Russian Federations Central Bank encapsulated each coin in a display case, with a hammer and sickle lead seal, significantly raising their value. That makes these coins some of the most sought-after imperial russian gold coins. They are a wonderful tribute to the glory of pre-communist Russia and deserve a place in every collection!
