Dia-1010.1. Diameter: 89mm. By A. Griliches, Jr. Obverse: The czar and his family standing facing, embracing; Reverse: Female personification of Russia kneeling right, beseeching aid from an angel who extends her hand over Russia's head and points toward heaven; in exergue, scene of the railroad crash which involved the imperial family. A rather large and impressive medal, this deep brown specimen offers fairly clean, choice surfaces and some underlying luster, along with solid relief and a fairly ambitious overall design.
