Re: Unknown jeton
It was minted to commemorate the Inauguration of the Memorial to Alexander II, in Moscow, on the 19th February 1898. He had been assassinated by bomb in 1881. There is also a smaller version in copper. Both crop up at auctions every now and then, the silver one seems to go for in the region of $250 or so.
Regards, Ned.
