This specimen was lot 603 in Sincona sale 78 (Zürich, October 2022), where it sold for 600 CHF (about US$719 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted, "RUSSIA | Russian Empire and Federation | Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, 1917-1990, 10 Roubles 1977, Moscow Mint. Chervonetz. PCGS MS67." 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.
