Elizabeth Rouble 1752 CПБ-ЯI AU55 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, Bitkin-269, Diakov-267. Obv. Crowned bust right. rev. crowned double-headed Imperial eagle with date and value. The strike is superb, for this early type, with every hair on Elizabeth's head sharp and the decorations on her gown amazingly distinct. On the reverse, even the eagle's feathers are virtually perfect. The surfaces are free of notable flaws and both sides display pleasing gray toning with lustrous, golden highlights.
