Ducat, 1716 - XF 40 EXTREMELY RARE Russia, Peter I the Great (1682-1725), gold Ducat, 1716, Moscow mint, variety with reverse 7 in date and no rivets on sleeve, draped and cuirassed bust right, with clasp. Rev. Crown above Imperial eagle, 3.43g (KM 151; Bit. 57 (R3); Diakov 6). In NGC holder graded XF 40 (6770039-001). Photo by NGC. One of the rarest Russian coins, this astonishingly rare Ducat of Peter the Great (Bitkin 57) has never previously been on the market. These gold Ducats were produced for international financial operations and commercial transactions during the reign of the Emperor Peter the Great. Peter led a cultural revolution inspired by Enlightenment that replaced some of the medieval social and political systems with ones that were modern, scientific and Westernized. Last time a coin of this particular type (Bitkin 57) was seen on the market was in 2007, a testament to how seldom they come for sale. NGC census sadly does not differentiate the Ducats of this year per Bitkin types, only per year of mintage. As coin collectors will know, the Ducats of 1716 boast a few different types of portraits, with clear differences in Emperor’s cuirass and cloak. Out of the various types struck in 1716, Bitkin 57 type gold Ducat is one of the rarest, which amplified by the fact that it is straight-graded, with no major issues and a clear portrait of Peter the Great. A true rarity of Russian Imperial coinage.
