It looks like the coins are both 1 ruble. This means that they would be silver.
The only russian coins that are gold from this time period are the 5 ruble, and the 10 ruble.

Here is a link to your coin on Numista:

You can always use weight for recognising. Both of them are silver like shadowyenigma said :)

​Quite simply the coins are not gold, they are silver i do not know how much clearer that can be... The lettering says one rouble, the coins are toned, patina does not form on gold... and well don't they look silver?
I collect anything: If it's Italian or Italian states i collect it even more!

I think he's asking about the price..
In Lithuania the price for common date is about 20€ ( F+ , VF-) .
But I dont collect them, so maybe someone else can tell where and for how much you can sell it.

Could you post photos of the rim where stars or letters ФЗ or ЭБ are? Also weight of both coins.

Indeed! I asked about the price, sorry if I have not made it clear enough! For weight I can't really do that, dont have a scale.

Both coins seam to be original silver Roubles, varieties are relatively common. I'd say that 1899 is 20-25 Euro, 1900 is about 30 Euro.

Your coins are silver and as others have mentioned, are worth around 20-30$ a piece.
