Catherine II gold Poltina (1/2 Rouble) 1777 MS62 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, KM-C75, Bit-116 (R). A very high level of certification for this only two-year type, entirely free from use in jewelry, bending, or cleaning. Soundly executed from polished dies while an interesting die shift can be seen on Catherine's portrait, which is sure to serve as a future pedigree marker.
