UBS sale 85, lot 1412

This specimen was lot 1412 in UBS sale 85 (Zürich, September 2010), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted,

"RUSSLAND Anna Iwanovna, 1730-1740 Rubel 1732, Moskau. Gekröntes Brustbild nach rechts. Rv. Gekrönter Doppeladler mit Georgswappen auf der Brust. Kl. Schrötlingsf. Fast vorzüglich." (Russia, Anna Ivanovna, 1730-40, ruble of 1732, Moskow mint. Obverse: crowned bust facing right; reverse: crowned double-headed eagle bearing a shield depicting St. George and the dragon. Hairlines, nice extremely fine.)

The coinage of Russia of the eighteenth century is a confusing and fascinating subject. Many ruble types were issued only briefly and can be dated even if they don't bear dates. This type, issued 1730-33, is priced quite a bit lower than previous issues of Peter I, Catherine I and Peter II. The rubles of Peter II were about 28 grams but this type seems to be only 26 grams.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: silver, this specimen 25,36 g.

Catalog reference: Bitkin 47, Uzdenikov 703, Dav-1670, KM 192.1.
