RUSSIA. Chervonetz (Ducat), 1796-CNB. St. Petersburg Mint. Catherine II "the Great". NGC MS-61.
Fr-133; KM-C-80C; Bit-108. Variety with TI on shoulder. Weight: 3.53 gms. A RARE trade issue that was only issued during a few sporadic years, this Mint State survivor presents a deep and enticing golden-orange nature to the color along with a well executed strike. Meanwhile, the radiant brilliance truly captures the gaze of the viewer, as it seemingly offers as much luster as the day on which it departed the mint. A tremendous opportunity for the advanced collector of the series more narrowly, or difficult world gold coinage more broadly.
