Poland
Nicholas I Proof 10 Zlotych (1-1/2 Roubles) 1836-HГ PR66 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, KM-C134, Bit-1089, Sev-3166. Extremely rare as a proof, and preserved in remarkable condition for such a broad issue, with the razor-sharp definition of the design being immediately apparent upon first sight and the surrounding flash of the watery field mirrors being a close second. Delightful multicolored rainbow tone in nearly every conceivable hue clings to the raised surfaces on both sides and only serves to push the eye-appeal to a further rarified level. For the advanced collector of Poland or Czar Nicholas of Russia, an undeniably significant offering and one that can be assured to boost the sophistication of the next collection it enters.
