RUSSIA. 5 Ruble, 1842-CNBAY. PCGS MS-62 Secure Holder.
Fr-155; C-175.1; Bit-19. Good strike with nice luster. Perhaps the most available date of pre-Nicholas II Russian Imperial gold, it serves as a reminder of a decade when Russia was one of the largest, (if not the largest) gold producers in the world. Elusive in mint state, this 1842 issue from the reign of Nicholas I is a terrific addition to any collection of Russian Imperial coinage. PCGS MS-62 Secure Holder.
Estimate: $800.00- $1000.00
