RUSSIA. Ruble, 1774-CNB OA. St. Petersburg Mint. Catherine II (the Great). PCGS AU-53 Gold Shield. Dav-1684; KM-C-67a.2; Bit-218. Rather wholesome and appealing, this original survivor is free from issue and offers a gunmetal gray tone along with some hints of brilliance remaining in the protected areas. A slight amount of unobtrusive die rust on the obverse is noted merely for completeness.
