RUSSIA. Ruble, 1725-CNB. St. Petersburg Mint. Peter I (the Great). NGC EF Details--Cleaned.
Dav-1659 var. (year); KM-166.1 var. (bust type); Bit-1328 (R1); Dia-1. "Sun" type. From the year of Peter the Great's death, this RARE portrait type provides pronounced details and is quite attractive. Once cleaned in the past, the surface brightness has been muted by some steely gray color, and the reverse does show both a weak strike, and some detail destruction. Despite these drawbacks, appearances of this type are few and far between, with this being our first offering of the type since 2016. A tremendous opportunity, and one that should not be balked at by the Russian specialist. To view all items from the Sigma Collection, click here.
