Can't take the heat!!

Got to my spot a 6:00 A.M. to hunt.
Buy 8:30 A.M.,it was to hot
It's 2:00 now, and my thermometer says 110
So I decide to go through my junk,
It's like Christmas all over again, You forgot about the stuff, and then you find it again
You know, the stuff you put away for a rainy day
For closer inspection

Any body have a clue to this one??
Looks Russian,

Thanks

Tim

The Lettering looks Russian, its at least Eastern European, (wouldn't have put this away) Very nice, Its obviously a navel medal of some sort and the crown leads me to believe its a old Russian medal because they were still a monarchy i believe until 1911 when they became communist....... Just my little Info Good luck

Re: Can't take the heat!!

Sorry about the heat doublet2a... but if not for the heat you would have never found out that that is an award medal (Russian) for the Chinese Campaign 1900-1901... the Boxer Rebellion.

It's bronze and should be 28mm - Comparing yours to the source pics I see there are at least three versions...

Obverse: Crowned cypher of Nicholas II
Reverse: Legend and dates 1900 - 1901

In choice extremely fine condition it can be worth $150 (at least thats what this site was asking)...
