Alexander I Rouble 1803 СПБ-ФГ MS63 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, KM-C125, Bit-34 (R). An exceptional example of this rare Rouble issue with the edge lettering in relief. The surfaces remain highly lustrous while having taken on just a hint of pearlescent toning. A small patch of patination to the left of the eagle does stand out, but on the whole is balanced by the superb rendering of the devices thanks to an exacting strike.
