RUSSIA. Copper "Inauguration of the Alexander II Monument in Moscow" Medallic Ruble/Ruble Pattern, 1898-AT. St. Petersburg Mint. Nicholas II. NGC PROOF-63 Brown.
KM-Pn159; Sev-4057; Bit-M326; Dia-1261.2 (R1). By A. Griliches, Jr. Obverse: Bare head of Alexander II left; Reverse: View of Alexander's monument in Moscow. Though bearing the effigy of Alexander II, this issue is, in fact, one from his grandson, Nicholas--the final czar of Russia. A RARE and engaging issue, this piece is sometimes considered to be a pattern Ruble, and other times simply a medallic issue in the module of the Ruble. Deep brown in color, with a great deal of brilliance emanating from the fields when rotated.
Estimate: $9000 - $12000
