Opening the new season of numismatic auction auction number 6, "Orders, medals and coins of Imperial Russia, after the traditional summer lull, we picked up an interesting collection, rich as rare items for the most discerning collectors and not so substantial in value, but has the undoubted collector and historical value. Example of Western auctions last quarter, according to the price increases and speculative nature of trading, convinces unconditional investment attractiveness of Russia's numismatics and faleristics against the backdrop of volatility in global markets and global demand falls.
 
Among the coins would particularly like to mention: the ruble in 1707 without any sign of an engraver in excellent condition, rare "solar" ruble "DBS" an error in the designation of the Mint, a fine copy of the ruble in 1912 to commemorate the opening of the monument to Alexander III in Moscow.
Among the medals: a true historical rarity is a table medal "In memory of peace with Turkey. July 10, 1774, Mr." diameter 82.5 mm, the Empress Catherine II de Monsieur de Fedi Tersak, rector of the Church of Saint-Sulpice in 1782 for outstanding works in custody, and the fact that similar medals available in the collections of major museums such as the State Hermitage and the State Historical Museum and an impeccable provenance from the family heirs Abbe make this proposal unique in the market of domestic faleristics. We can not overlook the award medal "For the salvation of dying for residents of the Kingdom of Poland with a portrait of a young Emperor Alexander II and the neck a medal for bravery "of the same period.
Of the orders most noteworthy sign of the Order of St Anne's 1-st degree, presumably studio D. Kuchkina, superior skill of execution, perhaps the most beautiful we've seen from the sign of the Order of St. George's 4-th degree of the firm "Edward" in the Order box Star of the Order of St. Stanislaus, the amazing preservation of the object to the XVIII century.
Also pay attention to fine copy of the sign of 91-th Infantry Regiment Dvinskoy perfect preservation and beautiful sign of the Life Guards Dragoon Regiment. The collection includes an indescribable gold medal 1st Battery Life Guards 1st Artillery Brigade.
