Russian Imperial Jetton Badge commemorated the
Naval Benevolent Association, established in 1891. |
This lovely silver jetton weighs 11 gr. It is 33.58mm high (base to top
of attaching piece) and 16.53 mm wide. There are very tiny chips at
the outside tips of the blue enamel, just barely visible without a glass.
The enamel is otherwise perfect. The chain and both rings are perfect,
unopened original. The large loop has the cyrillic master's mark "VK"
which is likely Vasily Akimovich Kybarev, Moscow master silversmith
from 1907-1917. Minor wear only to the high point. This is a very nice
and scarce jetton from pre-WW I Imperial Russia.
The Naval Benevolent Association was a very popular
charitable organization in Imperial Russia.
