Russia
Peter III Rouble 1762 CПБ-HK AU55 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, KM-C47.2, Uzd-924, Diakov-7, Bitkin-11. Even, deep gray toning, with some underlying luster throughout. An extremely pleasing piece, with only a hint of wear on the high points and no distracting marks. A perfect opportunity to own a choice coin from the very brief reign of Peter III, the German-born grandson of Peter the Great and husband to Catherine the Great, though generally viewed as a highly unpopular leader within Russia, and whose death may in fact have been the result of a plot by Catherine herself.
Estimate: 10000-15000 USD
