Rhino Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Hey, everyone, I know this is not a coin, but figured the best place to post this is in the Russian coins forum where I know I'll find more people who can read Russian. Please help me with the inscription around this medal/token... what does it say? I actually read Russian (but my vocabulary is basic) but the words aren't making sense to me, it looks like there are a lot of abbreviations. What does this mean: "Попеч.имп. человек. общ. для сбора пожертв. на восп. и устр. бед. дет. в мастер". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Seems to have something to do with a charity (royal/imperial) that raised money to give vocation training to poor children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
