Alexander I Rouble 1818 CПБ-ПC MS66 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, KM-C130, Dav-281, Bitkin-123. Obv. Crowned imperial double eagle facing, holding scepter and orb; crown above. Rev. Legend in four lines; crown above; all within wreath. An exceptionally and exceedingly breathtaking piece, and a testament to the beauty which could be created during the production of business strikes. Though this highly pleasing example features some fairly evident die cracks, their presence merely adds more character and charm to what is an otherwise perfectly produced planchet, with metal flow that absolutely captivates the viewer's eyes. Argent luster and brilliant surfaces are complemented by a razor-sharp strike to produce this gorgeous gem, the quality of which is likely not to be discovered again anytime soon.
Estimate: 4000-5000 USD
