Catherine II gold 10 Roubles 1769-СПБ AU Details (Scratch) PCGS, St. Petersburg mint, KM-C79a, Bit-22 (R), Petrov 22 Rub. A notoriously rare and highly sought-after gold type of Catherine the Great that typically only survives in heavily worn states or previously having been used in jewelry. While a scratch is noted beneath Catherine's chin and on the reverse, the overall detailing, particularly in the legends, is comparatively strong for the issue, with alluring eye appeal on the whole.
