Nicholas I Rouble 1842 CПБ-AЧ MS65 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, KM-C168.1, Bitkin-195. A steel-gray and blush tone yields to darker hues near the peripheries. A highly pleasing gem with sharply struck motifs. An old collector's number "17" has been partially erased on the reverse between the E and the crown, but is only visible at certain angles.
Estimate: 2000-3000 USD
