RUSSIA. Silver 2 Rubles Novodel, 1722. Kadashevsky (Moscow) Mint. Peter I (the Great). NGC AU-53.
Bit-H3742 (R2). A majestic and rather important RARITY, this alluring double-sized crown presents a captivating rendition of the czar, with elegantly refined hair detail and a stern gaze. The surfaces are a deep gray in color, with only a very light degree of handling and some hints of brilliance remaining in the protected areas. Some light die rust and roughness is noted, but entirely consistent with the novodel nature of the striking. Undoubtedly, a keystone addition to any collection of Peter the Great, Russian coinage more broadly, or crown-sized issues in general.
Ex: Prokop Collection.
Estimate: $17000 - $20000
