RUSSIA. 1/2 Ruble (Poltina), (1707). Peter I (The Great) (1689-1725). PCGS AU-55 Secure Holder.
KM-A129; Bit-571; Dia-2. VERY RARE type with Cyrillic date. In addition to being a difficult variety and type combination this is an exceptional example in terms of strike and appearance. Every feather on eagle and lock of hair on the bust is struck up and bold with the outer lettering and crown being equally as sharp. Deeply toned a medium to heavy gray which makes for a handsome classic appearance with some remaining underlying luster lighting up some golden russet highlights in the bottom of the legend and bust. Choice and undeniably desirable example of a type not often seen in this high state of preservation. PCGS AU-55 Secure Holder.
Estimate: $7000.00- $9000.00
