This specimen was lot 2139 in Sincona sale 47 (Zürich, May 2018), where it sold for 120 CHF (about US$144 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"Russland, Alexander III. 1881-1894. 5 Kopeken 1882, St. Petersburg, HO. NGC MS64. (Russia, Alexander III, 1881-94, five kopeks of 1882, St. Petersburg mint, uncirculated.)"
The Russian government does not seem to have been able to make up its mind whether the five kopeks denomination should be a small silver coin, as here, or a large copper coin. Today, the silver piece is readily available (probably due to hoarding) but the copper type (KM Y12.2) is hard to find in nice condition. The last copper 5 kopeks was struck in 1881. Assayer's initials HΦ = Nicolai Follendorf.
Recorded mintage: 1,760,000, a common date.
Specification: 0.899 g, 0.500 fine silver.
Catalog reference: KM Y19a.1, Bitkin 141.
