Graded PCGS MS61. Rare Russian platinum coin in superb condition, minted in 1845, the last year of issue. After the discovery of significant platinum reserves in Russia in the late 1810s, coins worth 3, 6, and 12 rubles were minted between 1828 and 1845, during the reign of Tsar Nicholas I. However, the complexity of working with this metal and its overly volatile value led to the rapid cessation of production of these coins.
