RUSSIA. Ruble, 1896. St. Petersburg Mint. Nicholas II. NGC AU-58.
KM-Y-59.2. Exhibiting exceptional quality for a circulated Ruble, this piece displays light amber-gray toning on smooth, satiny surfaces. Despite 12,000,000 pieces struck, this issue is seldom offered in the finer AU and Mint State grades, with the vast majority melted or heavily circulated. Type collectors would do well to acquire this delightful specimen as few can compare with its quality and appeal.
Estimate: $100 - $200
