Russia, Imperial. Two Commemorative Medals

Commemorative Medal for the Centenary of the 1812 War 1812-1912 (in bronze gilt, measuring 28.3 mm, original ribbon); and Commemorative Medal for the Tercentenary of the Romanov Dynasty 1613-1913 (in bronze, 28.3 mm, replacement ribbon). Contact marks on the former, edge nicks on the latter, very fine.

Footnote: The Commemorative Medal for the Centenary of the 1812 War was instituted on August 12, 1912 during the reign of Tsar Nicholas II. It was created to commemorate the centenary of the end of the campaign on Russian soil against the Napoleonic invaders. It was awarded to a great number of individuals: to all ranks of the military personnel that took part in the ceremonies in Moscow and in the parades held on the fields of Borodino, to civilians who had actively assisted to the preparation of the ceremonies and to a wide range of officials who were present at the festivities. The Commemorative Medal for the Tercentenary of the Romanov Dynasty 1613-1913 was instituted on February 21, 1913 during the reign of Tsar Nicholas II, to commemorate the three hundredth anniversary of the Romanov dynasty. It was awarded to a great number of individuals, civilian or military, who either had participated in the Jubilee ceremonies or were on duty on February 21, 1913.
