Yup Russian Orthodox. Here is another... https://www.ebay.ie/itm/RARE-1872-A...540290?hash=item239ed3dd82:g:93wAAOSwmfhX2pY8

The date 1872 could have something to do with a law passed in 1872 declared the Romanian Orthodox church to be "autocephalous". Moreover, in 1872, the Orthodox Church decreed that ethno-nationalism was a heresy incompatible with its teachings, issuing a statement saying, “We renounce, censure and condemn racism, that is racial discrimination, ethnic feuds, hatreds and dissensions within the Church of Christ, as contrary to the teaching of the Gospel and the holy canons of our blessed fathers.”

Search phyletism or ethnophyletism for more info.
