Alexander II silver Specimen "First Archaeological Congress in Moscow" Medal 1869 SP62 PCGS, Diakov-765.1 (R3). 70mm. By P. Kubli (unsigned). We don't know where PCGS got the Diakov number of 169.2 that they have on the holder insert. That number corresponds to a 1775 Catherine II medal. The correct number is as previously listed in this description (Diakov-765.1). Obv. View of the Kremlin. Rev. Five-line inscription between branches, "In Memory of the First Russian Archaeological Congress in Moscow." The fields are mirrored with bold details and mottled gold and blue patina. Hairlines are noticeable on both sides and the overall appearance is pleasing.
