This specimen was lot 21303 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2020), where it sold for $31,200. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "Exceptionally Flashy Elizabeth 5 Rubles. [[Russia|RUSSIA]]. 5 Rubles, 1756. Elizabeth. NGC AU Details--Reverse Tooled. A RARE type that is instantly impressive upon viewing with intricate detail through the designs and remarkable flash that creates exceptional eye-appeal. Unfortunately, more concentrated inspection reveals a set of short, inconspicuous scratches that, while avoiding the designs, mar the fields immediately surround the '1' in the date. If not for these, this coin would certainly be among the most impressive extant. As such, a coin that deserves careful consideration, as far less beautiful examples without the noted flaws would likely command far greater prices in today's market." This type is listed for 1755-59; all dates are rare.
