RUSSIA. Ruble, 1723. Red (Moscow) Mint. Peter I (the Great). PCGS Genuine--Tooled, EF Details Gold Shield.
Dav-1658; KM-162.3; Bit-873. Variety with initials "OK" on shoulder and small cross. A well struck and wholesome representative of this popular type depicting the stylized expressive portrait of Peter I (The Great) with bold intricate details and nice even wear. Upon close inspection a few minor marks, abrasions and scratches are noticed, but this cataloger is failing to see the designated details of being "Tooled" as indicated on the PCGS insert. Despite its shortcomings this attractive example is quite nice with much to offer collectors.
Estimate: $700 - $1000
