Russia, Tsardom. Peter I 'the Great' AR Altyn. Red mint, 1714. Crowned double-headed imperial eagle, holding sceptre and globus cruciger; crown above / Denomination and date; mark of value above. Bitkin 1213. 1.38g, 18mm, 12h.
Extremely Fine. Very Rare; only 8 others of this date on CoinArchives, of which just 1 from these dies. Arguably superior to the Bitkin 1210 example sold by Sincona in 2012 (Auction 7, lot 81) for CHF 34,000.
