In 1908, Emperor Nicholas II turned 40 years old. For gifts on the occasion of this anniversary, it was decided to mint a gold donative coin, similar to the 25 roubles 1896 "Coronation" coin, which was issued in 1896 in honor of the coronation of Nicholas II in Moscow. The first 150 coins were made from a gold nugget, weighing almost 5 kilograms, found in Siberian mines belonging to the Cabinet of His Majesty. In 1910, by order of the Grand Duke and Grand Numismatist Georgy Mikhailovich, another 25 coins were minted, so the total circulation was 175 copies. The weight of the coin of 32.26 grams and the denomination by that time no longer corresponded to the changed monetary standard adopted for gold coins as per the monetary reform of 1897, which indicates a donative purpose of the coin. As a means of payment, the coins were not used, but were kept in the Czar Family and the families of the nobles who received these coins as a sign of merit to the emperor. Today, the coin of 25 rubles of 1908 is one of the most expensive and rare coins of the time of Emperor Nicholas II.
