Imperial Coronation Egg is truly one of the most fanciful and well known of all the Imperial Eggs. Given by Czar Nicholas II to Empress Alexandra Fedorovna in 1897, on the first Easter following their Coronation, this egg is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. The egg itself is enameled a lustrous translucent red on an engraved starburst field trellised with bands of laurel. Gold double-headed eagles of the Romanov family crest, set with crystal are perched at each intersection. The surprise inside the egg is a replica of the Imperial Coronation coach in which the Empress rode to the ceremony.
