I saw the Mosaic egg at the exhibition of works of art from the Elizabeth 2 collection. The exhibition was held in 2012, in Edinburgh, at Hollyrood Palace (one of the current residences of the Queen). Rarities were displayed in honor of the “diamond” jubilee of the Queen's reign-60 years. The egg was located in the center of the structure and was covered with glass, but it could be viewed closely and carefully from all sides!
The coronation egg worth$ 24,000,000, which is part of the Vekselberg collection, is part of the Svyaz Vremya Foundation.
It depicts to the smallest detail the coronation carriage of Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna, was made in memory of the 1896 coronation of Nicholas II.
The egg is considered very famous – it was often exhibited in the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, as well as in many other museums as a temporary exhibition.
