Y-71; Bit-326. Struck to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Gangut, a naval battle against Sweden that resulted in the first ever victory for the Russian navy. In a modern sense, the Russian navy didn't exist prior to the reign of Peter The Great, with the battle having vindicated The Tsar's policies to greatly expand it. The anniversary of the battle is still celebrated even today.
The coin at hand is a terrific representation of the issue, just a breath away from uncirculated, and teaming with bright mostly white luster. Do not miss this opportunity to add this always in demand Russian crown to your collection.
