Description: | A very worn copper alloy object, possibly a jetton or commemorative medal dating to the Post Medieval to Early Modern period (c. 18th c-19th c. AD). The remaining attributes of the disc imply that a laurel wreath with a crown were depicted on one side with traces of a possibly Russian legend. The other side seems to depict an elaborate central design with large crown and a legend which also seems to be in Russian. Although an exact parallel has not been found, the style of the laurel wreath coupled with the Russian legends implies that this could be a jetton associated with Catherine II (late 18th century AD). The object measures: 35.70 mm diam., 1.58 mm thick, weighing 9.30 grams.
