Nicholas II silver Badge Celebrating Twentieth Year of Marriage 1894-1914, A stunning silver badge celebrating the 20th wedding Anniversary of Nicholas II and Alexandra Feforovna, topped with an Imperial Crown. The center shows an Imperial eagle, with gold backing, surrounded by a silver oak wreath and silver ribbons. The badge opens to reveal two halves, the front half as previously described, except for the Imperial crown that remains on the right half, along with a classic photograph of of the Tsar and the Tsaritsa. Silver garlands fall beneath the crown, above the photograph, and also include the monograms of Nicholas and Alexandra, with the dates 1894 and 1914 on either side of the photograph. The badge has a pin-back, with three small stamps, AБ in an oval, a small head facing right, and a head 84 in an oblong stamp. The condition is superb and included is a rather well-worn original case. An extremely rare item in virtually pristine condition. P/B 14.1.
