bill Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Didn't you notice all the tiny scratchs. You don't want that! (Then again, its an amazingly beautiful coin. Worth dreaming about.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be very proud to own that, even with the many imperfections. Unfortunately for me, that picture is the closest I'm ever likely to get to owning the real thing.

ccg Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 I'm suprised the damage is just limited to the fields - very unusual. So were these issued maily to the Royal family and friends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted March 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 For those who don't understand the significence of this gold coin, this coin is minted to commemorate the introduction of gold extracted from the Kolyvan-Voskresensk mines into coinages. If you exclude the commemorative 5 kopek 1757 of the Sestrorestsk mint (hey, no examples have been found yet), this might be the first, and actually the first gold commemorative coin ever minted in Imperial Russia. Although the designs are exactly the same as a typical 5 ruble around that era, except for an additional line, let's not forget that the year 1832 is the year when the coins went for a major change, and 1832 is the very year when the first such designs appear. Indeed, who would wish to pay so much just for an extra line of text, but with the mintage of just 1000 rumored that it was given to the highest order of the Imperial family and relatives and possibly high officials of the mining managements, and coupled with the fact that such coin wasn't seen in the market for so long, is very likely to spark some crazy bidders who have been waiting for such coin to appear in the market.

Timofei Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 A very beautiful coin. I am first day here and I was reading back the 9 pages of posts, so I apologize for bringing back such an old thread (won't do it anymore!).... I could not keep myself.... and as a bit of сonsolation to those who wanted such coin: that particular conmem. piece was fake. This is why it was not sold. Another piece is scheduled to be at Ekaterina auction this October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
