This specimen was lot 30671 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Chicago, August 2022), where it sold for $3,840. The catalog description[1] noted, "RUSSIA. Polupoltinnik (1/4 Ruble), 1798-CM OU. St. Petersburg Mint. Paul I. NGC EF-45. An EXTREMLY RARE issue, this fractional piece displays a problem free façade that is entirely charming. The deeply toned surfaces coat the lightly circulated devices, with good details yet remaining. A few scuffs on the obverse are the only distraction, and these are rather limited. A premium piece for the advanced specialist in Russian types. From the Sigma Collection." The SCWC lists this type for 1798-1801 but does not mention assayer ФЦ (Feodor Tsetreus) for 1798.

Recorded mintage: 88,000 (assayer MБ).

Specification: 5.18 g, 0.868 fine silver.

Catalog reference: KM-C98.1A; Bit-66 (R3).
