Russia, imperial Medal for the 1774 Peace with Turkey, silver, 30mm by 41mm. Obverse shows portrait of Catherine the Great. Cyrillic die maker initial "Yu" in the lower corner. Reverse bears writing "To the Victor" (in circular wreath), and "Peace Treaty Concluded with the Porte [court of Ottoman Empire] 10 July 1774." Very good condition, with wear to the obverse but details still discernable. The reverse shows light wear, with text in the lower portion remarkably well preserved.

Russia, imperial Medal for the 1791 Peace with Turkey, silver, 32 mm by 39 mm oval. Very good to fine condition, with even wear throughout. Includes vintage St. Andrew ribbon. Est. 1793. The medal commemorates the signing of the Peace Treaty in Jassy (Yassy), Moldavia. The treaty concluded the war of 1787 - 1791, which saw brilliant Russian victories at Kinburn and Ochakov, and climaxed in the capture of the fortress of Izmail in the Danube delta. As a result, Turkey was forced to cede huge territories to the Russian Empire, and lost any hope of reinstating claim to the Sea of Azov and Crimea. The medal was awarded to all enlisted and petty officer ranks who had taken active part in combat. /See Dimitri Romanov, "The Orders, Medals and History of Imperial Russia", pp. 92-93/. |

Russia, imperial Medal for the Far East Naval Expedition of 1904-1905, in silver, 28mm. Sterling silver hallmark "84" to the eyelet. Excellent condition, outstanding quality. Comes with new Romanov ribbon on replica suspension device. Est. 1907. The medal was awarded to all participants of Admiral Rozdestvensky's 2nd Far Eastern Squadron during the Russo-Japanese War. The squadron made a voyage from St Petersburg through the Atlantic, around the horn of Africa to the Far East, initially having the aim of relieving the besieged Russian naval fortress of Port Arthur. The expedition's destination was altered to Vladivostok after the Port Arthur's surrender in January 1905. Changing of the course led to the battle of Tsushima Strait, disastrous for the Russian fleet. Those Russian sailors who survived the battle were awarded with the medal commemorating their heroic stand at Tsushima. Enlisted personnel received dark bronze medals manufactured by the Mint, whereas the officers had to order silver medals from private makers. /See Dimitri Romanov, "The Orders, Medals and History of Imperial Russia", pp. 242-243/. |
