SB823-57661r.jpg

This specimen was lot 57661 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Pittsburgh, PA, August 2023), where it sold for $2,340. The catalog description[1] noted, "RUSSIA. 5 Rubles, 1855-CNB AT. St. Petersburg Mint. Nicholas I. NGC MS-62." Five rubles were struck for both Nicholas and Alexander II in 1855. We find it difficult to distinguish between the two as the design is the same and the ruler is not cited.

Recorded mintage: 3,400,000.

Specification: 6.54 g, 0.917 fine gold.

Catalog reference: Fr-155; KM KM-C175.3; Bit-38.
