Alpha Draconis Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Hello Gents Please help with identification of this Imperial Russian medal! It's Nicholas II period, 1912. with Alexander III monument on the reverse, and written Moscow in the obverse. Couldnt find it anywhere, even on Russian sites! If you could tell me rarity, and price range of this medal, I'll be grateful! Thanks in advance! AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 This is not a medal. This is jetton. Obverse "In memory of stay of their Imperial Majesties in Moscow" Reverse "In memory of the monument opening to Emperor Alexander III on May 30, 1912" These were made in yellow metal.

Alpha Draconis Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Thanks Nick So that's why I coldn't find it in Imperial Russian medals! And this must be a fake if it is silver made? I was offered to buy it for 200$! If it was an original, is it worth 200$? Cheers Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) Hi Joseph, to tell you the truth (by these photos) this piece doesn't look like silver one As for the price ... I'd say around 50 bucks. IMHO of course Cheers, Nick Edited February 9, 2014 by JapanX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul wood Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 The 1912 Monument Inauguration was quite a bean feast, there was in addition to the various jetons a rouble coin produced (A nice example can fetch £10,000), two medals were made by Avenir Griliches Junior, 78 and 33 mm in gold, silver and bronzehttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_02_2014/post-3085-0-94825900-1392300684.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_02_2014/post-3085-0-68027400-1392300712.jpg.
