A piece of uncommon beauty.
The first vintage of a low minted denomination of the partition period - 40 pennies equal to 20 kopecks.
A coin that in recent years has been encountered in the trade in circulated or clearly circulated states of preservation. This is also confirmed by our archive, where this vintage occurred only 2 times. Both coins were wiped with circulation, graded by us at st. 4 and 4-3).
The present piece is a specimen! With beautiful relief and luster peeking out from under the patina of the former collection.
Piece from the 2010 WCN auction (item 43/619 sold at the time for 5,940 gold).
