This specimen was lot 30607 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Chicago, August 2022), where it sold for $3,240. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Russia|RUSSIA]]. Poltina (1/2 Ruble), 1727-CNB. St. Petersburg Mint. Peter II. NGC AU-55. Demonstrating much charm in the form of a soft silvery luster, this brilliant Poltina displays brilliant attractivity that is thoroughly commendable. Some slight wear is seen on the high elements of the portrait, though generally this piece avoids effacement or marring. A stunning example, as these 1/2 Rubles do not generally survive in this condition. As the sole finest certified example by NGC, this beauty is certain to capture many eyes and bids. From the Sigma Collection." Poltinas were also struck in 1727 for Catherine I, the widow of Peter the Great ([[Russia 1727 poltina KM-176.1|KM 176.1]]).
