RUSSIA. 2 Ruble, 1726. Catherine I (1725-27). NGC AU-55.
Fr-101; Bit-2; KM-178; Dia-2; Sev-106B. EXTREMELY RARE two year type, from the brief reign of Catherine I, who rose from a servant girl to wife of Peter the Great, and then succeeded him upon his death in 1725. This example possesses abundant luster and great detail for the assigned grade with a few instances of natural planchet roughness over the surfaces, but limited marks from past handling. Seldom seen at auction, this piece would immediately elevate whichever collection it enters. NGC AU-55.
Ex: Soedermann Collection.
