Paul I Albertus Rouble 1796-БM MS61 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, Bit-14 (R1), Sev-2381 (R), UZD-1257 (RR), Petrov 12 Rub. Obv. crowned double-headed imperial eagle with wings up, holding scepter and orb. Rev. Four-line inscription in ornate frame, "NOT UNTO US NOT UNTO US BUT IN THY NAME." Struck to conform to the Albertus Taler standard, which was the standard Taler weight for use in trade in much of the Baltic Region. Superbly struck and the most pleasing example of this rare, one-year type Rouble we have seen. Small contact marks are noted, as one might expect of the grade, with the pleasing gray and russet patina accented by considerable original mint luster. We have handled very few examples of this iconic issue in Mint State and none with a more pleasing appearance.
