    If I wanted to purchase another similar medal, about how much would it cost?

    It's a keeper, great piece. If you ever decide it's too big and you need to make some room, it'll fit in nicely with my Russian collection! image

    Thanks for all the kind words. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to sell. There's nobody left in my family who cares about this stuff and I don't want to see it lost or destroyed. Thanks, Mike

    Will you be selling on ebay?
    Edited to add: If so be sure and post here when it will be going up, I probably won't win but I'd like a crack at it.

    "By GOD'S Grace, Alexander II, The Emperor And Autocrat Of All Russia Coronated in Moscow 1856".
    The reverse says: "God is with us".
    This medal is the work of Alexander Lialin (signed "À. ËßËÈÍÚ") who was an engraver at the St. Petersburg Mint. Lialin was also Professor of medal-engraving at the Academy of Fine Arts from 1851 until his death in 1861. He was also the engraver of the 1859 Nicholas I Memorial commemorative ruble.

    The medal is also known struck in silver and in gold.
