RUSSIA. 5 Rubles, 1769-CNB. St. Petersburg Mint. Catherine II (the Great). PCGS AU-53 Gold Shield.
Fr-130a; KM-C-78a; Bit-64. A few scattered hairlines and marks are noted, as well as a slight die flaw above the crown in the obverse legend, but this alluring, wholesome example still offers great brilliance remaining and stands as one of the better specimens that one is likely to encounter--PCGS having graded just one finer.
