RUSSIA. Gold 2 Rubles, 1720. Moscow (Red) Mint. Peter I "the Great". NGC AU Details--Cleaned.
Fr-91; KM-158.5; Bit-83 (R1). A fairly RARE and difficult-to-encounter type, this lightly circulated specimen garners its name from the reverse iconography in which St. Andrew stands facing the viewer, his eponymous saltire cross borne upon his back. Extremely well centered and struck, this specimen displays some minor cleaning as noted, but otherwise remains without issue, with some alluring burnished toning beginning to appear near the peripheries--an aspect that allows its captivating nature to be that much more apparent.
