Russia: Peter I gold 2 Roubles 1721 AU58 NGC,...

Description

Peter I gold 2 Roubles 1721 AU58 NGC, Krasny mint, KM158.5, Bit-122 (R), Petrov-15 Rub., Sev-90, Diakov-2. Variety without palm branch on chest. Just the third year that saw production for this short-lived gold coinage of Peter the Great, most examples hardly edging so nearly on Mint State status, with just 4 pieces across NGC and PCGS achieving that moniker. Virtually displaying the striking quality of a finer coin, just minor friction atop Peter's cheek and several of the letters bounds the designation, luster otherwise evenly pervading the surfaces while strong satin notes contour the raised features. Remarkably, this date was absent from the Goodman Collection, with the last example that we offered, also an AU58, bringing $16,200 as part of our January 2020 NYINC Sale. We note that while pedigreed to the Soedermann Collection on the holder, we have been unable to match this piece to a coin included in the auctions of that collection.
