Alexander III gold 5 Roubles 1881 СПБ-НФ MS64+ NGC, St. Petersburg mint, KM26, Fr-165, Bitkin-1. Fully lustrous, this near-gem example surely merits its plus designation, as it radiates with exceptional charm and beauty. A very difficult piece to encounter in such a state of preservation, this first year issue of Alexander III commands a great deal of attention.
