1879-CNB HO年俄罗斯3卢布。圣彼得堡造币厂。参考书目Bitkin列明铸币量为5，旁有问号，指明Bitkin不肯定真实的铸币量，且鑑于过往公开纪录呈献过的数量，相信真实铸币应该较5为多，但肯定是凤毛麟角的存世之作，此枚更是关键年份，品相超群，本次拍卖的瞩目之选。(t) RUSSIA. 3 Rubles, 1879-CNB HO. St. Petersburg Mint. Alexander II. NGC MS-63.Fr-164; KM-Y-26; Bit-42 (R2). Mintage: 5 (purportedly). An EXCESSIVE RARITY, this piece has a mintage figure in Bitkin of 5 piece, along with a question mark, pointing to its extremely difficult, albeit uncertain, status. Given the presence of certainly more than that to have crossed the auction block in recent memory, we may ignore his listed figure, though its KEY DATE nature changes little in this regard, as it is still a very important issue, and one that stands in an elevated Choice state of preservation.From the Sigma Collection.
