RUSSIA. Ruble, 1724-CNB. St. Petersburg Mint. Peter I (the Great). NGC EF Details--Obverse Scratched.
Dav-1659; KM-166.1; Bit-1315. "Sun" type. A popular and rather RARE design featuring a cross at the beginning of the obverse legend and a sun (giving it the name of the "Sun Ruble") at the center of the reverse. This specimen does exhibit some unfortunate scratches in front of the bust, but it nevertheless features and enchanting tone that mixes a delightful palette of gunmetal gray, golden-olive, and burnished amber.
Estimate: $3000 - $4500
