RUSSIA. Ruble, ND (1720)-OK. Peter I (The Great) (1689-1725). NGC MS-63+.
KM-157.4; Bit-251; Dia-34. Finest graded by two points plus. A monumental coin, struck the year Peter The Great defeated Charles XII of Sweden in the Great Northern War, cementing Russia's dominance of the Baltic region, and in many ways representing the zenith of the Tsar's many accomplishments. A single look at this coin leaves little doubt that it is the finest extant, with the lightest of tone confirming its fully original status. Every detail is fully struck, with crisp features all through the portrait, and reverse eagle feathers that are sharp and well defined. The fields remain free of any marks or abrasions, and the edges are pristine. A Russian coin of the greatest numismatic importance, and one that will instantly launch a collection into the realm of incomparable quality. NGC MS-63+.
Estimate: $30000.00- $40000.00
