RUSSIA. Ruble, 1785-CNB RA. St. Petersburg Mint. Catherine II (the Great). PCGS AU-58.
Dav-1686; KM-C-67C; Bit-240. The finest of the date seen at PCGS, this delightful near-Mint crown offers a mostly gunmetal gray tone with some enchanting champagne hues surrounding the devices. Though some minor striking weakness is observed, it nevertheless retains exceptional originality and allure, with essentially no signs of time spent in commerce.
From the Sigma Collection.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
