1914-ВС (embossed striking, wider rim -- more common variety) 

This is the last year this type was minted, and the last poltina of the era of the Romanovs. There are two obverse varieties for this coin; as far as I know, only the Kazakov catalog documents these. R.W. Julian mentions a smaller-head variety which exists in the collection of Valery Khorshev (Moscow).
