Descripción
Known as the Coronation Cup, the "Cup of Sorrows of Khodynka," or the "Cup of Blood," these cups were distributed publicly during the coronation of Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna in 1896. The cup bears the initials of the tsars with the Romanov eagle seal, as well as relief profiles of the crowned monarchs. This historical artifact is associated with the Khodynka Tragedy, a mass crush that occurred during the coronation festivities, which led to its nickname, the "Cup of Blood."
