Sincona sale 65, lot 109

This specimen was lot 109 in Sincona sale 65 (Zürich, October 2020), where it sold for 750 CHF (about US$987 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"Polushka 1780, Suzun Mint, KM. Novodel. Rare. Uncirculated. (Полушка 1780, Сузунский МД, КМ. Новодел. 1,60 г. Биткин Н1234 (R2). Редкая. Состояние превосходное.)"

This specimen does not match the 1780-KM polushka struck for Siberia (KM C5) and none were struck for Russia in 1780. The closest thing in the SCWC is KM N134, a 1781-KM ¼ kopek.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: copper, this specimen 1.60 g.

Catalog reference: KM-N134, Bitkin H1234 (R2).
