Description

Catherine I gold Coronation Jeton 1724 AU53 NGC, Bit-Ж 3881 (R3), Diakov-60.10 (R3) Smirnov-212, Rudenko-1724.n4. Obv. Four-line inscription, "Empress Catherine Crowned in Moscow. 1724."  Rev. Imperial crown on a cushion, on an inscribed pedestal with, "With Lord and Emperor" above and "Public Joy," in one line below. Slightly wavy flan, with bold strike for the issue and light contact marks. While the design is virtually identical to the pieces pictured in Bitkin and Diakov, the inscription below the pedestal is in one line, not the two lines as seen in all of the examples we could find. An extremely rare issue in gold, and a very elusive variety.
