RUSSIA. Ruble, 1723-OK. Red (Moscow) Mint. Peter I (the Great). PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, AU Details Gold Shield.
KM-162.3; Bit-920; Dia-64; Sev-606; Uzd-0609. Seaman type with antique armor and initials "OK" below shoulder. An EXTREMELY RARE offering of this short-lived issue boasting strong design features, better than normally encountered, and light even wear displaying rich mottled gray patina with plenty of underlying luster amongst the devices. Minor evidence of being cleaned long ago as indicated on the PCGS insert but is hardly distracting and easily overlooked. Upon close inspection the reverse does exhibit some minor planchet defects as is commonly encountered on coins of this ruler mentioned for accuracy. Despite its shortcomings this highly prized Russian numismatic relic is destined for an advanced collection seeking difficult to locate issues.
Estimate: $10000 - $20000
