Catherine II gold Ducat 1766-CПБ AU Details (Edge Filing) NGC, KM-C80a, Bit-104 (R1), Diakov-128 (R1). One of only a handful of this surprisingly elusive Ducat or Chervonetz type to come to market in the last twenty years as confirmed by a survey of recent auction records, with a frequency of approximately one every year or two, with even fewer with as much detail as the current offering. On display are highly original, sun-gold surfaces boasting only minor highpoint rub that defines the grade and light edge filing to confirm NGC's assertion. Despite this, we anticipate an elevated collector response for this exceedingly scarce and diminutive gold issue of Russia.
