RUSSIA. Ruble, 1719-OK (date in old Cyrillic). Moscow (Kadashevsky) Mint. Peter I (the Great). NGC AU Details--Cleaned, Artificial Toning.
KM-157.3; Bit-258. An impressively detailed example, the present specimen yields much charm with limited instances of handling or contacting on the surfaces. Despite the notation of cleaning and artificial toning, this piece presents extremely well and we would expect much competition despite the faults seen. A Ruble that should appeal to any collector seeking a more affordable example of the type for their collection.
From the Sigma Collection.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
