Nicholas II gold Specimen Imperial of 10 Roubles 1896-AГ SP62 PCGS, St. Petersburg mint, KM-Pn148, Sev-554 (Excessively Rare, RRRR), Bit-318 (R3). Obverse: Bare head of Nicholas left. Reverse: Crowned imperial double eagle facing, holding scepter and orb in talons; crown above, large coat-of-arms on breast, and smaller coats-of-arms on wings. Both Krause and Bitkin list a mintage figure of 125 pieces yet the current graded populations are minuscule at only one at PCGS (this coin) and four at NGC census (three MS pieces and one presumably roughly comparable to this coin; a Prooflike awarded MS62PL). While the fields admit occasional light instances of contact, they retain an inviting brilliance which allows the viewer to fully appreciate the intricately engraved reverse in its full glory. We have been privileged to previously handle a similarly graded 1895 of this coveted type in January 2018 in our New York sale where it realized $228,000 all in. Considering the quality and rarity of the present offering we expect fervent bidder enthusiasm as this crosses the auction block.
