Lot description: RUSSIA. Gold 2 Rubles, 1720. Moscow (Red) Mint. Peter I "the Great". NGC MS-65. Fr-91; KM-158.5; Bit-97. The sole finest graded example of the date in the NGC census, this tantalizing representative offers a crisp, clear portrait of the famous czar along with a somewhat stylized standing figure of the St. Andrew along with his saltire cross. Extremely well centered and struck, with a golden-orange nature further accenting the devices. For the connoisseur and advanced collector of the series, it is difficult to imagine a superior or even equivalent example being available anytime soon, making this opportunity one which simply cannot be missed. As such, VERY RARE and extremely important. To view all items from the Rothschild-Piatigorsky Collection, click here. To learn more about the collection, click here.
