This 1990 5-Ruble coin featured summer palace know as the Bolshoi Dvorets or the Great Palace of Czar Peter (sometimes called Petrodvorsk). Czar Peter was responsible for building this great palace, but afterwards, Katherine the Great remodeled the palace in its current rococo style. Previously featured as Ekaterina's Dvorsk, the coin displays the full view from the north.
Enjoy.

Took a look at the link. Opulance plus! What a grand structure. It is all tied together nicely with your photo and narrative. Great job Don!

Fantastic, another coin, and both sides of it too, so unusual, don't see many of those. Shame about the flare on the right hand side with rather distracts from the picture. I would have thought you would have got better at it by now.

Again we sit here in admiration of your knowledge on this fascinating subject and allowing us a window on your collection. I do like to see the country flag in the back ground on these Don, as it highlights the coins so well. Brilliant!
