Y-84. Single reverse die for the 1921 or 1922 Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic Ruble, sealed with easily removable lacquer to prevent corrosion. The era marked the height of the White Russian resistance, while famine plagued much of the country with 6 million starving to death in the Volga and Ural River regions that year. Yet back in what was then Petrograd, this Ruble die was being manufactured in preparation to strike coinage. Of great historic as well as numismatic history, the lot offered here is perhaps a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire this EXTREMELY RARE and highly desirable die.EXTREMELY FINE.
