RUSSIA. Coronation of Alexander I Gold Jeton Novodel, 1801. St. Petersburg Mint. PCGS AU-58 Gold Shield.
Bit-J937 (R3). Already an INCREDIBLY RARE type, this novodel issue, featuring a plain edge with a fairly thick and pronounced rim, is exceedingly difficult and virtually unseen in the marketplace. A few stronger marks in the obverse field to the right of the crowned monogram likely are what prevents Mint State status, though the dearth of other examples makes this minor aspect rather inconsequential. Definitely a piece for the specialist-connoisseur, and one that won't likely make an appearance again anytime soon.
Estimate: $30000 - $35000
