Nicholas I, Alexander I Column Commemorative Proof Rouble 1834 PR63 NGC. St. Petersburg mint, by Gube, Bitkin-894 (R), KM-C169. Obv. Bust right. Rev. Alexander I monument, KM169. A stunning Proof example, with incredible Ultra Cameo appearance. The strike is flawless, with deeply mirrored fields and heavily frosted devices. A touch of golden toning enhances the amazing eye-appeal, and only faint hairlines detract from what is almost visual perfection. A much nicer coin that the stated grade might suggest.
Estimate: 15000-20000 USD
