Losnummer 30680. The Fabled "Family Ruble" of Nicholas IRUSSIA. 1-1/2 Rubles ("Family Ruble") - 10 Zlotych, 1836-NY. St. Petersburg Mint. Nicholas I. NGC MS-60.Dav-286; KM-C-A172; Bit-888 (R2); Julian-1249. Obverse: Bare head of Nicholas (Nikolai) right; Reverse: Busts of Crown Prince Aleksandr Nikolaevich, Grand Duchesses Maria Nikolaevna, Olga Nikolaevna, Alexandra Nikolaevna, and Grand Dukes Konstantin Nikolaevich, Nikolai Nikolaevich, and Mikhail Nikolaevich around central medallion of Alexandra Feodorovna right, wearing stephane. One of the most desirable crowns of the 19th century, and near the pinnacle of Russian issues, this elegant and enchanting example remains extravagantly without any distractions, all while a rather deep cabinet tone envelopes the entirety of the surfaces. Cobalt-gray and some subtle lilac provide the color, with an immense assist offered by the radiant underlying luster. A RARE opportunity at an incredibly popular and fabled issue, and one that offers tremendous character and premium quality for the grade assigned.Estimate: $70,000 - $90,000.Click here for certification details from NGC.
