Lot 1981
Russia. (under Poland). 10 Zlotych or 1 ½ Rubles, 1833-NG (St. Petersburg). Bitkin-1048; Dav-284; Sev-3029; Cr-134. Nicholas I. Condition conscious collectors, for whom acquiring the best of the best is of paramount importance, will want to pay particular attention to this lot. It is quite simply a spectacular specimen, fully struck with perfect surfaces and lovely old iridescent toning. These large 10 Zlotys, intended for use in Poland, were first struck at St. Petersburg in 1833, continuing uninterrupted until 1841. Their counterparts of similar design struck at Warsaw, began 2 years later in 1835 and were also struck each year until 1841, providing a 7 year series for the Polish minted coins versus a 9 year series for the Russian version. This Superb Gem Proof is without doubt among the finest known of the type and may well be the finest in existence. PCGS graded Proof 67.
Estimated Value $15,000 - 25,000.
