Medal for the 1774 Peace Treaty with Turkey (Porte), in silver, 1774. Catherine
the Great award issued at the conclusion of a series of highly successful
campaigns from 1769-1774, resulting in a great southward expansion of the Russian
Empire. Very rare piece in F/VF condition - far better than most other original
examples we have seen.

Romanov Tercentenary Cross for the Clergy, in hallmarked silver and cloisonné enamels. Awarded to Orthodox priests who personally participated in special church ceremonies on 21 February 1913 marking the 300th anniversary of the Romanov Dynasty. A beautiful piece by a Moscow maker, with flawless enamel and in very fine overall condition.
