Russia Rouble (AѰK) 1720 - Peter I (1682-1725) - NGC XF 40
This specimen showcases an intriguing and seldom-encountered portrait variant with an enlarged head of the emperor. The coin exhibits only minimal traces of circulation and is attractively enhanced by a smooth, appealing gray patina. Well detailed relief elements remain clearly defined, especially on the prominent portrait, which adds numismatic charm. The preservation of subtle features, combined with its visually pleasing patination and the rarity of this distinctive portrait style, makes it particularly desirable to discerning collectors. Without the engraver’s initials, without arabesques on the chest. Diakov 922; Bitkin 326.
