Thanks for your attention! THIS IS RUSSIAN AMERICA 2014 500 ROUBLES FANTASY COIN, RUSSIAN MISSION TO JAPAN IN 1804, KRUSENSTERN LISYANSKI REZANOV, BU IN CAPSULE 39mm IN DIAMETER, COPPER-NICKEL, IN CAPSULE The race to be the first to have the prestigious honor of opening Japan to the world was still a Russian dream. Tsar Alexander I of Russia had started a worldwide Russian representation mission under the lead of Adam Johann von Krusenstern (Крузенштерн). With Japan in mind, Nikolai Petrovich Rezanov was appointed to the mission. He was the founder of Russian-Siberian trade in fur and the ideal man to convince the Japanese.In 1804, Rezanov got a chance to exercise his diplomatic strength in Japan. On board the ship Nadezhda, he had many gifts for the Bakufu. He even brought along Japanese fishermen who had been stranded in Russia. But Rezanov could not do what so many had tried before him. An agreement was never reached. During the negotiations, the Shogun remained silent for months; next, the Shogun refused any negotiations and finally gave the Russian gifts back.
