Losnummer 30095. Nicholas I "Battle of Borodino Memorial" 1-1/2 Roubles 1839 XF Details (Cleaned) PCGS, St. Petersburg mint, Dav-287, Bit-892 (R1). by H. Gube. An elusive and highly-disputed issue when encountered at auction, the first we have offered in nearly 10 years. Celebrating the monument of the battle of Borodino, this piece shows minimal highpoint-wear and only a few scattered marks, all covered by a subtle tone. This odd and very popular 1-1/2 denomination always attracts animated bidding, especially from advanced Russian type collectors. HID05401242017 © 2023 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved.
