History

While the original Twelve Monograms egg is intact, its surprise in the center is missing. However, historians suspect the surprise originally consisted of six miniatures of Alexander III mounted with sapphires. This egg was given to Nicholas II in 1896, who in turn presented it to his mother, Maria Feodorovna. The egg itself is a tribute to Alexander III, who was Emperor of Russia from 1881 until 1894.
