RUSSIA. Novodel Tynf (¼ Ruble), 1708-IL-L. Sev-244; Uzd-4792. Struck on heavy 10.2 gram planchet. Peter I. Despite the light wear, this is a wonderful coin. Hard luster. Steel gray with tawny golden hues, very few abrasions, and a detailed portrait of the Czar--his moustache and eyebrows, curly locks and dimpled chin, eye and nose all crisply detailed. The rim a bit unevenly struck. NGC graded AU-55.
Estimated Value $1,000-1,250.
