RUSSIA. Coronation of Alexander I Gold Jeton Novodel, "1801". St. Petersburg Mint. PCGS SPECIMEN-58.
Bit-Ж937 (R3). Plain edge. Already an INCREDIBLY RARE type, this Novodel issue, featuring a plain edge with a fairly thick and pronounced rim, is exceedingly difficult and virtually unseen in the marketplace. A few marks in the obverse field to the right of the crowned monogram likely prevent a Mint State status, though the dearth of other examples makes this minor aspect rather inconsequential. Definitely a piece for the specialist-connoisseur, and one that won't likely make an appearance again anytime soon.
Estimate: $12000 - $18000
