Description

Finest Certified 1897 Imperial of 10 Roubles

Nicholas II gold Imperial of 10 Roubles 1897-AГ MS64 NGC, St. Petersburg mint, Fr-173, Bitkin-319 (R3), Sev-558 (RR). Simply outstanding, and an offering from a short-lived 3-year series of gold Imperials that receives ample celebration when brought to market. The last date of the series, boasting a scant mintage of just 125 coins listed by Krause and Bitkin; surely survivorship is much smaller as the certified population sits at just 5 straight-graded between NGC and PCGS, with only a single other seen at major auction in the last decade. Deep golden resplendence abounds the instantly recognizable effigy of Nicholas II and reverse arms, having developed a deep honeyed tone through long-term storage that surely helped its near-Gem assignment. Nearly no singular visual distractions are noteworthy, with only the occasional wisp to preclude a finer preservation. An absolute rarity, coupled with advance aesthetic quality and its status as tied for the finest certified will surely cement this impressive Imperial among the numerous highlights of this session.

冠軍分1897年10帝國盧布珍品

1897-AГ年尼古拉二世10帝國盧布金幣。MS64 NGC。
聖彼得堡造幣廠。這款金幣品相出類拔萃，其發行時間僅有三年，每當出現於市場時都廣受注目。此幣為出自發行的最後一年，Krause及Bitkin記錄僅發行125枚，而流傳至今者肯定遠少於此。NGC和PCGS記錄中，品相上佳者僅有五枚，另有有一枚在過往十年間曾於另一大型拍賣行中亮相。深邃的金光繚繞於獨具一格的尼古拉二世的肖像和背面徽號上，在多年的貯藏中養出濃厚的蜜金色包漿，造造了近珍品的分數。幣面不見一絲瑕疵。此幣無疑為一大珍品，外觀絕美非凡，評分併列榜首，定必與同場其他俄國錢幣大珍一道成為是日焦點所在。
