Russia, Nicholas II, 15 rouble 1897 AГ

An exquisite piece, perfectly minted with an almost unprecedented presence for these coins.

One of the prettiest "fifteen" we have had on offer so far.

A variety with four letters overlapping the Tsar's neck.

Б.М.НИКОЛАЙ II ИМПЕРАТОРЪ-И САМОДЕРЖЕЦЪ ВСЕРОСС;

Reverse: eagle of the Russian Empire of the design of 1886, below the inscription:
15 РУБЛЕЙ 1897 Г;

Edge: Чистаго золота 2 золотника 69,36 долей А-Г;
