RUSSIA. 2 Rubles, 1766-CNB. St. Petersburg Mint. Catherine II (the Great). PCGS AU-53.
Fr-134; KM-C-77; Bit-112. A VERY RARE one-year type, this elegant gold denomination radiates with tremendous brilliance and exhibits only a light degree of handling across the high points. There is a small depression in the outer reverse field between 5 and 6 o'clock, though this is from the die, as it is evident in other examples from these dies. As such, it is easily disregarded, making this a stellar opportunity for the advanced collector of Russian or world gold coinage more broadly.
Estimate: $10000 - $15000
