RUSSIA. Ruble, 1885-CNB AT. St. Petersburg Mint. Alexander III. PCGS MS-64 Gold Shield. Bit-46; KM-Y-25. An absolutely stunning example of this type, highly scarce in such a fine level of preservation with near-gem surfaces featuring frosty luster and razor-sharp devices. The blast-white centers hold all the way to the rims where deep-iridescent tone is noted, likely from long term safekeeping in its issued bank roll.
