This specimen was lot 10645 in Ponterio sale 169 (Baltimore, November 2012), where it sold for $1,351. The catalog description[1] noted, "RUSSIA. Ruble, 1726-CNB. Catherine I (1725-27). FINE." This type was issued from St. Petersburg (shown here) and Moscow (KM 177.1) and is rare. The coinage of Russia of the eighteenth century is a confusing and fascinating subject. Many ruble types were issued only briefly and can be dated even if they don't bear dates. The rubles of Peter I were about 28 grams but shrank to 20 grams by the end of the reign of Catherine the Great.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: 28.44 g, 0.729 fine silver.
Catalog reference: Dav-1665; KM-177.2; Bit-47.
