RUSSIA. 5 Kopek, 1785-KM. PCGS MS-64 RB Secure Holder. CATHERINE II (THE GREAT) (1762-96).
C-59.5; Bit-789. An exceptionally nice example of this issue. Very deeply struck with strong detail to the wreath, crown, eagle and St. George. Smooth fields absent any abrasions complement the sharp strike. Toned surfaces for the most part but exhibiting much vibrant mint red luster, with the eagle and crowns appearing as if flames are rising above them. A choice grade for this type and one of the very few certified pieces to garner a designation other than BN. PCGS MS-64 RB Secure Holder.
Estimate: $600.00- $800.00
