The Top Five World Coins in the 2024 NYINC

Gold rarities were undoubtedly the main story when it comes to the most impressive results in the recent Stack’s Bowers Galleries World & Ancient auction held in conjunction with the 2024 New York International Numismatic Convention (NYINC). Treasures from Great Britain and Russia took the top five spots, while three of the top five emanated from the Rothschild-Piatigorsky Collection—an exceptionally impressive collection of Russian coinage that has been off the market for the better part of a century.

1)        GREAT BRITAIN. Gold 7 Kilogram Platinum Jubilee Commemorative (7000 Pounds), 2022. Llantrisant Mint “The Royal Mint”. Elizabeth II. GEM PROOF.

            Realized $660,000.

2)        RUSSIA. Gold Imperial (10 Rubles) Pattern, 1897-(AT). St. Petersburg Mint. Nicholas II. NGC MS-61.

            Realized $360,000.

3)        GREAT BRITAIN. Gold “Una and the Lion” 5 Pounds Pattern, 1839. London Mint. Victoria. PCGS PROOF-63 Deep Cameo.

            Realized $336,000.

4)        RUSSIA. 25 Rubles, 1876-CNB. St. Petersburg Mint. Alexander II. NGC Proof Details–Removed from Jewelry.

            Realized $240,000.

5)        RUSSIA. 37-1/2 Rubles (100 Francs), 1902-(★). St. Petersburg Mint. Nicholas II. NGC MS-62.

            Realized $222,000.
