Rare Russian Imperial Coins Certified by NGC Lead Baldwin’s Sale of The Rebaczonok Collection

Stanley Gibbons Baldwin’s Auctions will present The Rebaczonok Collection on September 25, 2025, offering rare coins from Russia and elsewhere certified by Numismatic Guaranty Company® (NGC®). The Russian Empire section stands out with rare gold, silver, platinum and copper issues, many appearing at auction for the first time. Several pieces carry provenance to the famed Hutten-Czapski Collection.

Among the NGC-certified coins in this sale is a Russia 1778CNB 10 Roubles with a Rebaczonok Collection pedigree graded NGC MS 61 (lot 57), which has an estimate of £8,000 to £12,000 (about $11,000 to $16,000). Struck under Catherine the Great’s reign, this coin is a potent emblem of imperial Russia. The obverse bears Catherine II’s regal crowned bust, while the reverse arranges crowned imperial shields in a cruciform pattern with the date nestled in the angles. The NGC Census records 19 examples of this coin, with only one graded higher than this.

Also offered in this auction is a Russia 1741CNB Rouble with a Rebaczonok Collection pedigree graded NGC AU Details (lot 37), which has an estimate of £6,000 to £8,000 (about $8,000 to $11,000). This silver coin showcases the infant Emperor Ivan VI in a fine laureate and draped bust on the obverse, bearing the Cyrillic legend recognizing him as Russian emperor along with the mintmark СПБ for St. Petersburg. Ivan was overthrown by his cousin Elizabeth before his second birthday.
