RUSSIA. 5 Rubles, 1798-CM OU. Uncertain Mint in St. Petersburg. Paul I. NGC MS-62.
Fr-144; KM-C-104.1; Bit-1. Emanating from the first year of issue, this stunner-- surpassed in the NGC census by just three other examples --offers a pleasing strike, alluring color, and great vibrancy remaining. For completeness, a few minor planchet flaws are noted on the obverse, but these do not interfere with the overwhelming wholesome nature that exists. A tremendous opportunity for the advanced collector of this short-lived reign, or even Russian RARITIES in gold more broadly.
