SB822-30597r.jpg

This specimen was lot 30597 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Chicago, August 2022), where it sold for $1,020. The catalog description[1] noted, "RUSSIA. 10 Kopeks (Grivennik) Novodel, 1719. Moscow (Red) Mint. Peter I (the Great). NGC MS-61. A VERY RARE novodel issue, this minor offers an alluring cabinet tone and a good deal of flashy brilliance radiating in the fields as one cradles it back and forth. Some scattered marks on the edge, however, are noted for completeness." The original grivennik of 1719 (KM 155) is quite scarce, likely prompting the issue of this novodel for collectors.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 2.84 g, 00.729 fine silver.

Catalog reference: KM-NF8; Bit-H1129.
