Russia
Nicholas II Rouble 1896-AГ MS66 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, KM-Y59.3, Dav-293, Bit-39. The finest graded example of this date by either service, this extraordinary gem exhibits a breathtaking degree of rainbow toning and cartwheel brilliance. A mesmerizing palette of electric cobalt, luscious cabernet, and burnt sienna coalesce with a muted goldenrod to form an enchanting mélange which captivates the viewer. An absolutely stunning piece to behold and worthy of the attention of not just collectors of Russian, but of crowns and visually stunning specimens in general.
