RUSSIA. Ruble, 1896-AT. St. Petersburg Mint. Nicholas II. NGC MS-64. KM-Y-60; Bit-322. Struck to commemorate the coronation of Nicholas II as Tsar, a position which he would be the last to ever hold, this piece blazes with luster that cartwheels light without effort. Some toning is evident near the peripheries that increases in strength in certain areas. A supremely attractive example of an always popular type.
