RUSSIA. Roble, 1720-OK (in old Cyrillic). Moscow (Kadashevsky) Mint. Peter I (the Great). PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, AU Details.
Dav-1654; KM-157.4; Bit-387. Cuirassed variety, with clasp and embroidering on mantle. A solid example of the popular "OK" Ruble of Peter the Great, the present specimen is uncommonly detailed with just a touch of wearing on the high elements of the design, and an attractive and colorful layer of retoning nearest the peripheries. A few horizontal striations and an unnatural brightness confirm the noted by PCGS, though the cleaning is relatively light as these go. A presentable piece for the collector intrigued by early Rubles.
Estimate: $800 - $1200
