A rare type of ruble, featuring a bust of the tsarina facing right, introduced this year.
A variant with an additional arabesque on the shoulder, found in Bitkino only on this one die. It is assigned a rarity grade of R1.
The reverse features a legend offset from the eagle. On either side of the eagle’s tail is the St. Petersburg Mint mark СП-Б.
Additionally, the denomination includes an extra, incorrectly placed mark after the "P."
A nice, natural, circulated piece. Attractive for such a rare variant.
