RUSSIA. Ruble, 1720 (date in old Cyrillic). Moscow (Kadashevsky) Mint. Peter I (the Great). PCGS MS-62.
Dav-1654; KM-157.6; Bit-326. Steely gray and possessing much in the way of lustrous brilliance, this delightful, nearly-Choice crown radiates with immense appeal and is, quite unsurprisingly, the finest of the type observed in the PCGS census. As such, it should generate a great deal of interest from the advanced collectors of fine Russian numismatics--especially those for whom the coinage of Peter the Great stands above all others.
From the Sigma Collection.
Estimate: $4000 - $8000
