RUSSIA. Ruble, 1723. Peter I (The Great). NGC MS-61+.
Dav-1660; KM-162.4; Bit-895; Dia-60. "Seaman" type with no initials below truncation of the bust. An easily identifiable variety with characteristic dies cracks on the reverse. The piece exhibits a nice solid strike with sharp details of the design and clear delineation of the laurel wreath and the monarchs hair. A thin veneer of champagne patina graces the lustrous surfaces giving a nice look to this always in demand and popular type.
Estimate: $3000.00- $4000.00
