Nicholas I copper Proof Pattern Novodel 5 Kopecks 1830-CПБ PR64 Red and Brown NGC, St. Petersburg mint, Bitkin-H924 (R2), Brekke-238 var. There was an original issue, and a later novodel striking, for this type. Both are very rare with a stated mintage of 25 piece for the original. The novodel issue is easily identified by the short ribbons on the obverse. This example has considerable golden-red mint color with prooflike surfaces. Close examination reveals light hairlines, as made, which appear to be attempts to clean a rusty die. A pleasing, and quite elusive, example of this rare issue.
