This specimen was lot 30650 in Heritage sale 3037 (New York, January 2015), where it sold for $3,760. The catalog description[1] noted, "Alexander III 25 Kopecks 1886 AГ MS64 NGC, St. Petersburg mint. Obv. Bust right. Rev. Crowned double-headed Imperial eagle with date and value. A stunning piece. This example has the initial look of a Proof, with deeply mirrored fields and frosted devices. The strike is also superb, and the lightly marked surfaces absolutely sparkle beneath the light yellow-green patina. Rare in this condition. Mintage of only 4,058 pieces." This type is listed for 1886-94. All dates are scarce to rare, especially compared to the large numbers of twenty kopeks issued in the same period. Alexander III ruled 1881-94.
Recorded mintage: 4,058.
Specification: 5 g, 0.900 fine silver, .1446 troy oz ASW.
Catalog reference: Bitkin-89 (R1), Severin-3960, KM-Y44.
