RUSSIA. Ruble, 1881-CNB HO. St. Petersburg Mint. Alexander II or Alexander III. NGC MS-64.
Dav-289; KM-Y-25; Bit-95 (Alexander II)/Bit-41 (Alexander III). Struck in the year of two czars, as Alexander II passed away in March, this stunning near-Gem radiates with an intense brilliance in the fields and sports a rather attractive and enticing iridescent tone near the peripheries. Just the slightest degree of haymarking is noted on the reverse, though not at all distracting. Undoubtedly worthy of a premium bid and spirited competition.
Estimate: $3000 - $4500
