U.S.S.R. aluminum Pattern Rouble 1970 MS63 NGC, Obv. Head of Lenin right. Rev. Arms and value. From our 2010 January New York sale where it was described, "Unlisted in any reference that we can find, MS63 NGC. The regular issue of this type was struck in copper-nickel-zinc, and to the best of our knowledge, no other aluminum pattern of this issue is known. According to the consignor, this piece was part of a presentation set, presented at the time, to one of the highest ranking officials of the Soviet Communist Party. In the tradition of Soviet numismatics, patterns in aluminum were not a common practice, and the last previous aluminum pattern was made in 1924." A true rarity of USSR numismatics.
