Peter I gold Ducat (Chervonets) 1711 Fine15 NGC, Moscow,_x000D_ Kadashevsky mint, KM133, Bit-16 (R3), Petrov 250 Roubles,_x000D_ Diakov-345 (R4), Fr-88, Obv. Laureate and armored bust of Peter I_x000D_ right. Rev. Double-headed Imperial eagle holding four maps in beaks_x000D_ and talons. This example shows considerable wear, with wavy flan_x000D_ and numerous handling marks, as do most of the known specimens. An_x000D_ exceedingly rare gold issue, struck following the capture of Azov,_x000D_ and the following peace with Turkey on July 12, 1711. Following the_x000D_ treaty of peace, Azov was returned to the central government of the_x000D_ Ottoman Empire. Because of this, the 1711 gold Ducats were recalled_x000D_ and all but a very few pieces melted. This example is nearly as_x000D_ nice as the most recent sale we can reference, this being a_x000D_ non-certified coin, graded VF, in the Dmitry Markoff sale 36,_x000D_ January 8, 2015, Lot 2012, that sold for the hammer price of_x000D_ $110,000.
