Commentary
Nicolas Ier ordonna le 7 décembre 1835 la mise en fabrication d'un rouble commémoratif en souvenir de l'inauguration de la colonne d'Alexandre. En réalité, la frappe de ces pièces n'eut réellement lieu qu'en 1836. Alexandre Ier (23/12/1777-1/12/1825) était mort en ermite et son frère cadet Nicolas Ier lui succéda.
