Comments: Subject of this coin is the 300th anniversary Romanov Dynasty. Not technically a crown sized coin but the more I look at this coin the more I like it.  This was one of a group of coins that I recently sent off no NGC for grading.  Was a bit disappointed with the details grade but looking at the coin in hand I guess I can see that the obverse was polished.  Still a beautiful coin.
