Hi Pavel,

Nice finds but a bit of info on the finds will be just fine . I assume it's some WWII medallion with Stalin on it. What about the badge? Is is pre-1917 or after?

This is a medal for the victory over Germany. It was established in 1945 on May 9. It is awarded to those who fought against the Nazis.

Badge "For Excellent shooting" for the lower ranks

Thanks for the info, Pavel. I believe the coin of 1762 is of Catherine the Great time. The monarch's cypher on Russian coins really looks pretty cool. Is it ER for Ekaterina Romanova?

Thank tuatara. I am very pleased that you know the history of Russia in New Zealand. Empress Catherine was a German, but she done a lot for Russia. It was a great empress.
A. Great, Catherine II (Catherine the Great, April 21, 1729, Stettin, Germany - 6 (17) November 1796, St. Petersburg) - Russian Empress (1762-1796). The period of her reign is often considered the "golden age" of the Russian Empire.

To my experience, many people in NZ have Slav roots. I should have known the Russian history better because my great-granddad was Russian from Kursk. The problem is I have too many roots for one person to handle.

You were in Russia?

Yes, in Moscow, St Petersburg and in Volga River Region. It was a quite a while ago and then I wasn't addicted to any detecting hobby. Now I regret. So much time wasted on museums and theatres.
