Commentary


C’est la première fois que nous proposons cette monnaie d’une insigne rareté à la vente. Les novodels russes sont des refrappes de types monétaires russes existants. D’une qualité de frappe soignée, ils diffèrent des frappes originales par leur style et le traitement des flans utilisés. Il s’agit toujours de très petits tirages très recherchés et appréciés des collectionneurs. Il existe une poltina pour 1777 mais pas avec ce type de buste. Ce buste n’existe que pour les novodels.
This is the first time we've offered this extremely rare coin for sale. Russian novodels are re-strikes of existing Russian coin types. With their meticulous minting quality, they differ from the originals in their style and the treatment of the blanks used. These are always very small mintages, highly sought after and appreciated by collectors. There is a poltina for 1777, but not with this type of bust. This bust only exists for novodels.

Historical background


RUSSIA - CATHERINE II

(07/17/1762-11/17/1796)

Catherine (2/05/1729-17/11/1796) was the greatest tsarina after Peter the Great. She succeeded her husband, Pierre III, who was deposed in 1762 before being assassinated by the Orloff brothers. His very long reign brought Russia into the "Age of Enlightenment". Friend of the philosophers including Diderot from whom she bought his library, liberal, she nevertheless reinforced the despotism and the nationalization of Russia. She fought against the Turks and was an opponent of the French Revolution.
