Russia, Moldavia & Wallachia, Catherine II, Para / 3 Dengi 1772, Sadagura Mint, Bitkin 1255, Exceptional condition, NGC MS 62 BN, The smallest of the issues, this coin is in a virtually unobtainable condition. A true gem for this type, especially since these coins were all struck from the bronze obtained by melting down Turkish cannons. Red colour and subtle mint lustre still remain in the fields and set apart this coin from the many others in lower grades. Very rare to find in this state of conservation and the first we`ve handled. From the collection of a Swedish collector.
