Nicholas II gold 15 Roubles 1897 (АГ) MS63 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, KM-Y65.2, Fr-177, Bitkin-2. Narrow rim. A luminous example, glowing with warm, honey-gold luster and sharply-defined devices that sit well atop the surrounding fields. Minor handling marks, mostly in the form of insignificant wisps, are noted in the grade assignment, but the overall allure of this piece remains very strong.
Estimate: 2000-2500 USD
