Cyrillic Mystery

Found this at a local show, this morning. There is also something which looks like a "signature," H. GUEE EECIT. However, I do not think it is.
I have provided a close up to help anyone who would care to comment.

Literally, "Finished in the Memory of Maria Fyedorovna". Maria was the Wife of Paul I who ruled Russia from 1796-1801.

It looks like a Trial piece to check the Dies before minting.

No clue as to what it may be, but I like it!

I didn't know there were any Russian klippes...

WAIT, did you say Gube Fecit?!?!?!??!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!!?

He was a German (yes German) mintmaster in Russia who worked upon several Russian commemorative coins and his works are somewhat "mysterious".

1834 Alexandrine Column Ruble


1839 Borodin Ruble


He also designed the 1835 family ruble which I am unable to prove a picture of, that coin is at least a 4-5 figure sum!!!

An interesting piece... I would like to see a larger picture though...

Edited to add more info.

I would like to see a larger picture though

I do not think that I can make it larger without losing resolution.

Thank you all VERY much for the information!
