Description

Ex. Hutten-Czapski Peter I Rarity

Peter I gold Medallic Polupoltina of 3 Ducats 1702 AU Details (Removed from Jewelry) NGC, Kadashevsky mint, Diakov-M4 (this coin), Bitkin-3865 (R3), Severin-Unl. 10.19gm. Struck to a weight of 3 Ducats. Among the most thrilling representatives of early Russian gold this cataloger has yet witnessed, and a feat considering the quality and depth within this very auction. On offer is an astounding and enigmatic emission, struck with a weight of 3 Ducats and to the size of a Polupoltina (1/4 Rouble), whose importance and rarity was clearly recognized and previously mounted as jewelry - a similar treatment we often encounter to contemporary gold emissions of Russia's European neighbors. While the origins and purpose of this piece remain largely a mystery, the piece's inclusion in some of Russia's greatest collections, Hutten-Czapski and Soedermann, is incredibly telling of its overall importance. Despite evidence of use in jewelry and an earlier cleaning, the piece retains impressive detail, with all devices fully impressed on the golden planchet and embellished by a gentle amber silhouetting to the peripheries. Boasting the instantly recognizable countermark of famed numismatist, Count Emeryk Hutten-Czapski, one can only imagine what prominent collection this piece will make its way to next!

源自Hutten-Czapski舊藏之彼得一世珍品

1702年彼得一世Polupoltina（3杜卡特）金章。AU Details (Removed from Jewelry) NGC。
Kadashevsky造幣廠。10.19克。重量等同3杜卡特。是日的早期俄國金章金幣專場，不論藏品品相和深度都令人嘆為觀止，當中又以這枚最令圖錄編者為之興奮雀躍。這枚金章神秘莫測，重量等同3杜卡特，尺寸等同1/4盧布，其重要性和珍罕程度都無需贅言，先前曾被鑲嵌用作珠寶，這種做法在歐洲鄰國的近代金幣上亦見慣不怪。雖然此章的緣起和用意尚不為所知，但多年來各個最頂尖顯赫的俄國錢幣集藏，如Hutton-Czapski及Soedermann都有把此章納入其中，其關鍵地位可見一斑。雖然帶有鑲嵌及清洗痕跡，但此章仍呈現出超凡卓絕的細節，金坯上的圖文躍現於眼前，邊緣映出一脈柔和淡雅的琥珀光澤加以點綴。而錢幣大師Emeric Hutten-Czapski的戳記更是別具一格。這枚金章將再次置身於那一個頂尖集藏中，實在令人期待萬分。
