Nicholas I gold Pattern 10 Roubles 1836-CПБ MS62 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, KM-Pn100, Bit-H882 (R3), Sev-424. Of the numerous icons struck during the reign of Nicholas I, which include the "Family" Rouble and platinum coinage series, the commemorative 10 Roubles celebrating the 10th anniversary of his coronation are among the most coveted. While the reverse remains in line with conventional layouts of the gold and platinum types, the obverse depiction of the conjoined busts of Nicholas and Alexandra are wholly unique and instantly memorable. Each bust endures incredibly lifelike and a product of the hand of German engraver Henrich Gube, who would go on to engrave numerous Medallic issues of Nicholas, none receiving as much acclaim as witnessed here. Notable flash and sun-gold surfaces abound this near-Choice survivor, creating a most appreciable aesthetic character. Tied for the finest of six currently witnessed by NGC, and last having been seen on the market in 2019, this offering will doubtlessly be met with strong collector enthusiasm.
