The Imperial Coronation Egg is a jeweled Faberge egg made under the supervision of the jeweler Peter Carl Faberge in 1897 by Faberge ateliers, Mikhail Perkhin and Henrik Wigstrom.

It is embellished with vibrant honey colored guilloche enamels and gilt metal accents. Fitted inside the egg, there is a replica of the 18th-century Imperial coach that carried the Tsarina Alexandra to her coronation at Moscow's Uspensky Cathedral.
