RUSSIA. Sofia, Regent for Peter I and Ivan V, 1682-1689.

RUSSIA. Sofia, Regent for Peter I and Ivan V, 1682-1689. Ducat, n.d. Crowned bust ? l. of Regent holding scepter in dotted circle. Rv. Tiny Imperial eagle over crowned busts of Tsar Peter I and his mentally challenged co-ruler Ivan V. Diakov page 22, N3; Fr.58a. 18.1 x 17.0mm, 3.79 grams, struck on a planchet of superior quality and boldly detailed except for a touch of striking weakness on Sofia's face. Bold lustre underlines the consciously archaic charm of this notable rarity, technically a Novodel of a Fantasy issue of later date but avidly sought by generations of Russian collectors. Few Russian Novodels can compete with this coin for sheer fascination and charm, historical interest and unquestioned rarity. Brilliant Uncirculated, essentially Choice.
