Anna copper Pattern 2 Kopecks 1740 CПБ AU55 Brown NGC, St. Petersburg mint, Bit-405 (R3), Brekke-35 (Extremely Rare), Ilyin 150 Roubles. Overstruck on earlier 5 Kopecks. Obv. Draped bust of Anna right. Rev. Crowned Imperial eagle with date above and value (2-KO below). The strike is quite bold, with no major flaws. This piece is significantly more pleasing than the only other example we have seen that was auctioned by a major auction firm in 2015.
