Alexander I Poltina (1/2 Rouble) 1818 CΠБ-ΠC MS67+ NGC, St. Petersburg mint, KM-C129, Bit-160. A sculpturesque design, thick with obverse die polish lines, and emitting blast white luster that tends towards russet apricot hues towards the peripheries. Both the imperial eagle and the wreath carry a highly frost-like finish which, when set against whirls of cartwheel luster, imbue the coin with a semi-prooflike appearance. Some slight die cracks are visible extending from the rim to various sections of the wreath of the reverse. This specimen sits at the top of the NGC grade census.
