Full Version: Russian Medal-viewing pleasure?
This was my grandfather's. I have it now and after years in darkness I'd like to share it with others. It was suggested that i go here at the PCGS site. Mike
Oh my that's beautiful! And welcome!
It's gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
Did your grandfather acquire it in Russia?

Anton, what does it say?
He never did say how or where he got it, I didn't think to ask since I was so young at the time.
"By GOD'S Grace, Alexander II, The Emperor And Autocrat Of All Russia Coronated in Moscow 1856".
wow thanks for coming in here.
A similar question was asked a few months and I was suprised.
Before you sell the medal, will it be possible for you to tell me who the die medallist is? The engraver's name is at the collar.

How do I translate Cyrillic? A. ARANIIZP
Hm... not too sure how that would be in cyrillic. Interesting though, thanks!
That's beautiful; Looks like a real piece of history, never seen one before. I am a major militaria collector myself, having a fair amount of medals etc. from all around the world. Thanks for sharing, and welcome to the site Mike.

The one pictured is not silver though.
A beautiful medal. Thanks for sharing and welcome to CoinPeople.
It was not my main priority, but I did try to get this medal yesterday. Unfortunately it went too high for me. 
I do not collect medals but as this one had a strong theme of local history I really wanted it. It was released 2 years after the unveiling of the statue of Alexander II in the Senate Square in Helsinki in 1894.

Muistomerkin neljällä sivulla ovat lakia, työtä, rauhaa ja valoa kuvaavat vertauskuvalliset veistokset. Laki - veistoksen lain jumalatarta esittävä naishahmo leijonineen on muistomerkin eteläreunalla. Myöhemmin jumalatar samaistettiin Suomi-neidoksi. Muistomerkistä löytyvät myös Suomen maakuntavaakunat sekä vuosiluku 1863, jolloin Suomen valtiopäivien toiminta alkoi uudestaan yli viidenkymmenen vuoden tauon jälkeen.

Sir: a beautiful medal indeed.
As to the last post, my ignorance shows. Is there someone who could translate? Otherwise the post will have to go unanswered. Thanks, Mike

It is Finnish and it describes the monument mentioned on the link I posted. If you would like a full translation I can do that for you.
Thank you. No, that's not necessary, just didn't want to slight someone through my shortcommings. Mike
