Russia. Nicholas II (1868-1918). The last of the Russian czars, Nicholas was an inept and autocratic ruler. The failing economy, the lost Russian-Japanese war, and World War I finally resulted in the Russian revolution. Nicholas abdicated in 1917 and he and his family were executed by the Bolsheviks in July 1918.

Estimated Value $500 - 600.
