constanius Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Obv. Alexander facing left. ALEXANDER KAISER VON RUSSLAND Rev. 2 cornucopias crossed with an olive branch between them. FREIDE UND GLUCK (Peace and Happiness) Exe. IETTON 24mm. Not dated but commemorates the 1814 victory over Napoleon and the subsequent peace, though it turned out to be short lived! A very rare variant of the more often seen jeton (which has the spelling 'GLUK' and is signed 'L' for Lauer) this is unsigned & the portrait of Alexander is very different too, in fact it is far superior to any of the various portraits of Alexander on the other jetons from 1814.

rsraghead Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I'm not familiar with the varientn but that one is very attractive, and I agree about it being a great portrait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
