Poland
Nicholas I of Russia gold 20 Zlotych (3 Roubles) 1834 CПБ-ПД MS62 Prooflike NGC, St. Petersburg mint, KM-C136.2, Bitkin-1075. A gorgeous example of this popular Russian Domination issue of Poland. Designated PL for its glossy and reflective fields, the obverse double-headed eagle showing a more matte tone providing a pleasing contrast; the highest certified example for this type is MS63 NGC, and yet one is inclined to believe that bearing the prooflike designation trumps one extra grade point in terms of eye appeal. A bold near-choice example for the connoisseur collector.
