This specimen was lot 1455 in Stack's Bowers ANA auction (Chicago, August 2014), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted, "RUSSIA. Ruble, 1759-CNBHK. Elizabeth (1741-61). NGC MS-61. Lustrous and attractive." The coinage of Russia of the eighteenth century is a confusing and fascinating subject. This type, issued 1757-61 from St. Petersburg and 1754-58 from Moscow, is somewhat available. The rubles of Peter II were about 28 grams but this type is only 25.85 grams.

Recorded mintage: 601,000 (including assayer YI).

Specification: 25.85 g, .802 fine silver.

Catalog reference: C-19c.4; Bit-290; Dia-523, Dav-1681.
