Alexander I Poltina (1/2 Rouble) CПБ-ПД 1825 MS64★ Prooflike NGC, St. Petersburg, KM-C123a, Bitkin-183. Obv. Crowned double-headed Imperial eagle, with upright wings, and date below. The strike is bold and a thin band of russet patina encircles the peripheries on both the obverse and reverse. The fields are deeply mirrored and the devices heavily frosted yielding nice cameo contrast. A conditionally very rare issue. Only two pieces have been certified by NGC and PCGS combined, with both by NGC. The only other certified example is certified VG. Our research has found only six other pieces auctioned since 2005, the finest being an AU sold on April 13, 2013 by the Russian auction firm Coins and Medals in their auction 80, lot 268. This piece brought $16,165. The other 5 all graded VF, or less. A stunning example and, by far, the finest we can reference.
