Niue Island 2010 $2 Faberge Coronation Egg Silver Proof

Symbolising the luxury and extravagance associated with the heyday of European Royalty, the Faberge Coronation Egg was made in 1897 to honour the official investiture of Nicholas II as Tsar of Russia in 1896. A breathtaking combination of gold, diamonds and intricate enamelling, it is considered a masterpiece of the jeweller’s art.
