Russia
Nicholas II "War of 1812" Rouble 1912-ЭБ MS64 NGC, St. Petersburg mint. KM-Y68, Bit-334. Easily one of the most hotly contested issues of 20th-century Russian numismatics, this commemorative Rouble celebrates the centennial of Napoleon's defeat during his invasion of Russia in 1812. While examples at or below choice come to market fairly frequently, anything approaching Gem Mint State becomes increasingly difficult to locate, especially when possessing a superior eye appeal comparable to the current offering. Enhanced by a brilliant mint luster and atypically strong strike, leading to even the most minute details to be easily discernible on the gunmetal planchet, and all complemented by a gracious coating of tangerine and peach silhouettes.
