RUSSIA. 2 Rubles, 1723. Red (Moscow) Mint. Peter I (the Great). NGC MS-62.
Fr-91; Bit-159; Diakov-11. "Seaman Type". The VERY RARE type is fully struck and glazed with an attractive luster that is a bit reserved with how it plays with light. Wondrously alluring, this example displays very little contact for the grade and presents nice fields. Some pebbling from die rust is present on the surfaces, giving this piece a bit of a rustic charm. Put together, this example is a phenomenal representative of a highly sought for example that is sure to find its way into a collection of which Willie Fuchs would be proud.
Ex: UBS (1/2002) Lot #1886.
