Very attractive.

This is a not a coin. It is a medal commemorating the Coronation of Alexander II in Moscow in 1856.

I think your pictures have definitely improved since you first posted this medal in August of 2006

From that original post a few years back - A. Lyalin R. (marked on the neck) engraver, working for the shop of M Kuchkin R (reverse, bottom). Bronze - diameter 64mm. Smirnov Catalogue #603a.

I thought it was gorgeous then, and still do. From what I remember, it was also in the original box, right? What a great find!

Thank you, and yes, it's in the original box. I'll put a pic in the am. My pics are less worse.

Pah. Liteside barbarians. What do you expect, from a bunch of Philistines? You may as well have cast pearls before swine.

Edit to add- the original case makes it all the sweeter. I'm getting a very high coolometer reading on that. Perhaps nine kilofonzies, or even one megafonzie.

Great medal and great pics.............

I didn't know that they put Robert Mitchum on a medal.
