RUSSIA. 10 Ruble, 1768-CNB. St. Petersburg Mint. Catherine II (the Great). PCGS AU-50.
Fr-129a; KM-C-79a; Bit-18. Though not mentioned on the holder, there appears to be a "5" under the "6" in the date; This, however, may instead simply be a die issue, as other examples have been observed like this, and none have been referenced or certified as an overdate. In any event, a bright and handsome specimen, exhibiting only light, even wear and no distracting issues. Solely for completeness, a slight flan depression--likely a metal impurity--is noted on the obverse near the legend at 3 o'clock.
