RUSSIA. Coronation Gold Medallic Ducat/Jeton Novodel, 1762. St. Petersburg Mint. Catherine II (the Great). PCGS AU-58 Gold Shield.
Fr-137; KM-Unlisted; Bit-J1358 (R2); Dia-117.8. A VERY RARE and alluring type, this novodel issue in gold features intense brilliance in the surfaces and a charming golden-orange tone to the color. Virtually no evidence of handling is present, though some scattered hairlines are observed, along with a minor planchet flaw near the rim of the crown side. With very few other examples traceable by this cataloger, it is unlikely that another this attractive will emerge anytime soon.

Estimate: $22000 - $30000
