A splendid example of this exceedingly rare one-year_x000D_ type, with considerable remaining luster and sharp definition. The_x000D_ "no hair ribbon" variety is, by far, the rarer of the two major_x000D_ types for this seldom-seen issue._x000D_ Peter II had a thoroughly miserable life, losing his mother_x000D_ shortly after his birth, and his imprisoned father when he was only_x000D_ three. He was kept in seclusion until the death of his uncle, Peter_x000D_ the Great, in 1725.. Although he was crowned Emperor following the_x000D_ death of Catherine I's death in 1727, his reign was brief , as he_x000D_ died of smallpox in 1730._x000D_ Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R.
