TABLE MEDAL FROM THE PORTRAIT SERIES “EMPEROR ALEXANDER III” RUSSIA, 1894

A commemorative silver table medal dedicated to Emperor Alexander III, executed in the tradition of late Imperial medallic art of the late 19th century. Circular in form, the obverse bears a profile portrait of the sovereign in military uniform with an order sash and epaulette. The portrait is rendered in a строгий академический manner, with pronounced plastic clarity of the silhouette and careful attention to the official representation of the monarch. Along the rim runs the inscription: “ALEXANDER III EMPEROR AND AUTOCRAT OF ALL RUSSIA,” reinforcing the memorial and state character of the piece.

The reverse is occupied by a multi-line inscription beneath the Imperial crown, containing a programmatic text associated with the era of Alexander III’s reign and its historical interpretation following the Emperor’s death in 1894. Such table medals were not intended as currency, but as commemorative objects designed for cabinet display, collecting, and the preservation of historical memory. The piece is of interest as an example of Russian memorial numismatics and as evidence of the official iconography of Alexander III in the late period of the Russian Empire.
