alexbq2 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 I'm looking for some information on these medals. I'm interested in Diakov reference numbers as well as rarity rating. The first medal - Church of St Isaac at St Petersburg , Bronze Medal, 1858, by J Wiener, exterior view of the cathedral, rev the interior, 59mm (or so the Baldwin description stated) The second - Memorial medal dedicated to Princess Anna Ivanovna Trubetskaya, struck on her death in 1755. Engraved by Roettiers. From MIM site: "Медаль «В честь Гессен-Гомбургской принцессы Анастасии Ивановны, рождённой Княжны Трубецкой», 1755 года. Гравёр Ротьерс. Бронза, 45,67 гр. Диаметр, 47 мм. Сохранность отличная. Иверсен# СXXVII. СРМ# 8. Редкая. Принцесса Анастасия Ивановна Гессен-Гомбургская третья дочь Князя Ивана Юрьевича Трубецкого и статс-дамы Княгини Ирины Григорьевны рождённой Нарышкиной родилась в 1700 году. В 1717 году вступила в супружество с государем молдавским Дмитрием Антиохивичем Кантемиром. По его смерти в феврале 1738 года вышла замуж за ландграфа Гессен-Гомбургского Людвига Вильгельма бывшего на российской службе генерал-фельцехмейстером, а потом генерал-фельдмаршалом. В 1741 году была пожалована статс-дамой Двора Императрицы Елизаветы. Умерла в 1755 году, похоронена в Александро-Невской Лавре." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexbq2 Posted August 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Many thanks One-Kuna! The cathedral medal is amazing. Especially the reverse. It is layered deeply into the surface giving it an almost 3d perspective! I wonder if others were done in the same style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
