Catherine II gold 5 Roubles 1767-CПБ AU53 PCGS, St. Petersburg mint, KM-C78a, Bit-62 (R), cf. Sev-283 (listed only as an overdate), Diakov-158 (R1). Narrow bust variety. A highly appreciable representative minted from a well-polished reverse die, a light amount of wear detectable atop the highpoints, though not resulting in any serious loss of detail. Due to the comparatively large size and purchasing power of the denomination, most survivors come down to the present day having seen past use in jewelry, making honest AU pieces such as the present coin a noteworthy find. We would also note that while a great deal of 1767 5 Roubles come with evidence of overdating or re-engraving in the final digit of the date, there are no signs of such a feature here.
