This specimen was lot 33738 in Heritage sale 3064 (Chicago, April 2018), where it sold for $960. The catalog description[1] noted, "R.S.F.S.R. gold Chervonetz (10 Roubles) 1982-(L) MS66 NGC, Leningrad mint. A superb gem example of this scarce issue, which KM lists as Rare. Not rare by common definition, but certainly scarcer than the 1982 Moscow-minted issue." The first chervonetz was issued in 1923 as an attempt by the new Communist regime to win international respect by issuing a strong gold coinage. The coin was issued to the standard of the old czarist ten rubles (KM Y64, issued 1898-1911) but was a failure. Many years later, in 1975, the Russian government tried again with this coin, which was struck 1975-82 in some numbers and sold and traded as a bullion coin. None are known to have circulated at their nominal face value of ten rubles.
Recorded mintage: unknown but few.
Specification: 8.60 g, 0.900 fine gold.
