Alexander III Rouble 1883-ЛIII MS65 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, KM-Y43, Uzd-4195, Bitkin-217. Commemorating the coronation in Moscow. Obv. Bare head right. Rev. Imperial crown, orb, and scepter set upon pillow; all within wreath. A stunningly original, Gem example of this coronation commemorative rouble, with sharply defined details, a steely-gray, cobalt, and light golden tone, and lustrous surfaces peeking out under the tone. Exceedingly rare in such a state of preservation, with only three others meriting this grade across the two major services, and with none certified finer.
