Russia
Anna Poltina (1/2 Rouble) 1738 AU53 PCGS, St. Petersburg Mint with no mint letters, Bit-243 (R), KM199. Obv. Crowned bust right. Rev. Crowned double-headed eagle, holding orb and scepter, with date above. Abundant luster, with light gray patina. A rare one-year type without the mint letters. Super eye-appeal for this very elusive issue. The early Poltinas in choice condition seem to be much scarcer than the Roubles. By far, the finest example of this type we have offered.
Estimate: 7000-8000 USD
