RUSSIA. Coronation of Alexander II Gold Medal, 1856. NGC MS-61.
Dia-653.1 (R3). Diameter: 65mm; Weight: 175.83 gms. By A. Lyalin & M. Kuchkin. Obverse: Bare head right; Reverse: Crowned imperial double eagle, with coat-of-arms on breast and holding scepter and orb; garlanded crown above. VERY RARE in gold and in this larger module, the present specimen offers great quality for the overall grade, featuring tremendous brilliance and a light frosting to the devices. Some scattered hairlines are noted in the fields, though they are not very distracting, and undoubtedly make this example a premium-quality piece for the grade assigned. Exceptionally impressive and truly a sight to behind when held.
Estimate: $65000 - $70000
