Description

Supremely Rare Platinum 12 Roubles

Nicholas I platinum 12 Roubles 1835-CПБ MS61 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, KM-C179, Bitkin-44 (3), Fr-158. Mintage: 127. All platinum issues appeared during the reign of Nicholas I; the regulation coinage began in 1828 with 3 Rouble coins, the 6 Rouble coming in 1829 and the 12 Roubles added one year later in 1830. Minting in this metal continued until 1845 when an imperial ukase ordered complete cessation of platinum coinage and a total recall of existing coinage in circulation within a 6 month period, due in part to their unpopularity with the public. These mystically rare and fantastically large 12 Roubles were struck each year from 1830 to 1845, but the quantities produced of each date were always in small numbers. The highest mintage figure for the entire series was 1,463 in 1831, but most dates originated from totals similar to the 127 figure for the present date, or even less. Though not the most pristinely preserved example of this type we've ever offered, exhibiting signs of mild handling throughout, encountering a 12 Rouble representative in problem free Mint State condition is an occasion worth celebrating. Not since 2013 has an dated 1835 specimen graced Heritage's auction block, a streak we are happy to see come to end when this beauty sells on auction day to a most worthy collector.

極為罕見的12盧布鉑金幣

1835-CПБ年尼古拉一世12盧布鉑金幣。MS61 NGC。
聖彼得堡造幣廠。鑄造量﹕127枚。所有俄國鉑金幣都出自尼古拉一世時期。規範的鑄幣始於1828年的3盧布，隨後6盧布問世於1829年，12盧布則在一年之後（1830年），自始一直發行。直到1845年，由於鉑金幣在大眾間不受歡迎，故政令指示全面停鑄，並要求六個月內將流通的成品回收。尺寸巨大的12盧布珍罕萬分有如鳳毛麟角，雖然在1830至1845年間每年均有鑄造，但數量極少。當中鑄造量最高的是1831年，達1,463枚，但大多數年份與當前這枚一樣僅約127枚甚至更少。雖然此幣談不上敝司所曾經手的最佳品相者，但仍不失為一枚不帶重大瑕疵的原廠狀態例子，值得為之額手稱慶。海瑞得對上一次經手已數到2013年的一枚1835年例子，如今再度有幸向廣大收藏家呈獻，實為幸事。
