Great Coins!  Do you own them?  Thank you for sharing them here...

 Re Reply # 31:  Actually a commemorative medal/medallion, as opposed to an offical government-issued "coin of the realm" per se, as it bears no monetary exchange value.   Regards,  AP.

Except collectability of course. 

[aleksandr pavlovich]

Absolutely!   Medals/medallions can be splendid miniature works of art in their own right.  Regards,   AP.

I would just like to ass that according to my information these meddals were made to commemorate the miraculous survival of the Imperial family after 1888 Borki train disaster.

And how this incredible reply helps Countess Adrienn Bellér ? ...If you know WHAT book exactly, mention it, but "This photo is in many books !" doesn't add any appreciated info to the poster who asked for the picture. If you don't know and are not going to post the bigger version - better keep silence.

I have one with Alix in the same postion with Eddy, so is one of Lovisa with Christian...

[Carolath Habsburg]

and Marie of Denmark with Aage. It was a common mother- child pose.

[Eric_Lowe]

I don't think so. Alix pose was the best selling of the cdvs in Britian and aboard. I think the others copy it (no doubt they did it in private before).

[Carolath Habsburg]

I ve seen pictures of common people posing like that. Maybe Alix did that pose popular but there s no doubt it was a common a popular pose back in those years.,

[Eric_Lowe]

It could be a pose that Alix made popular. The huge success of that particular card may contribute to that. You don't see QV playing with her children so intimately.

Was the card sold in Russia ?
