A beautiful piece.
The rarest variety with the so-called spread tail sought after by collectors in any state of preservation.
Obverse: crowned eagle of the Russian Empire, on the sides of its tail initials M-W, in the outer rim the legend:
ЧИСТАГО СЕРЕБРА 3 ЗОЛОТНИКА 15 3/4 ДОЛЕЙ;
Reverse: in laurel and oak wreath inscription:
3/4/РУБЛЯ./5/ZLOT-/1840;
Definitely recommended!
