I don't have much, a coronation announcement booklet from Nicholas and Alexandra, another announcement and menu for festivities after the coronation, a menu, propaganda pieces that show Rasputin with Nicholas & Alexandra at his feet (another copy of this is shown in Edvard Radzinskys book), a signed book by Grand Duke Alexander (Sandro) "Once a Grand Duke", an announcement of a committee that Grand Duchess Xenia was on for a fashion show, small things really compared to the things I wish I owned.
How rare is the "Coronation Menu" dated 14 May 1896? It is visually impressive, nearly 1 m long and includes borschch, pirozhki, lamb, pheasant in aspic, fruit in wine and ice cream.
