Rare. Many of the great rarities depicted in the Georgii Mikhailovich corpus originated in the Tolstoï collection. “The finest 19th-century Russian collection ever auctioned, virtually complete. Virgil Brand and L.K. Josef (of St. Petersburg) were heavy buyers.” — Journal of the Russian Numismatic Society, Spring 1988 issue.
