Peter I gold 2 Roubles 1722 AU58 NGC, Krasny mint, KM158.6, Bit-140 (R), Petrov-15 Rub., Uzd-0035, Sev-92, Diakov-1.2. Large head variety with palm branch on chest. A stunning, fully-struck example with bright mint luster and surfaces free of all but the most minute marks, containing only a hint of rubbing to the highest points of the design bounding the designation. A minor planchet imperfection can be detected behind Peter's head, running from just below his shoulder to the letter O in the legend. Very rare in anything approaching Mint State condition, we would note that a mere two pieces certify finer at NGC, with none yet reaching Mint State status at PCGS. A selection with markedly few auction occurrences since its private sale by the Paris numismatic firm Emile Bourgey nearly 60 years ago, and a coin that leaves little wanting.
Purchased from Emile Bourgey on 19 November 1973
