Moscow 1883

[kadari]

Well , spent the whole sunday in forests near sea (Baltic) trying to locate old small swedish port, which exsisted there till 17th century. No port and old swedish coins today, maybe better luck next time .
As a starter we found couple of old buttons, remains of an old boat(lots of copper nails) and some scrap copper worth about 60-70 USD.
Then we did some beachhunting: different casings, 2 kopeks 1938, 20 kopeks 1981.
For dessert old homesite, abandoned maybe 1930-40. Lots of iron tools and none interesting stuff until we found this copper religious medallion. Its made in Moscow 1883. Avers: two saints. Revers: Big russian church.
Sorry for bad picture

Very cool finds.....That Church token might be .....Cathedral of Christ the Savior
In 1839, Nicholas I laid the cornerstone of the new Cathedral of Christ the Savior. He chose the location himself, about a quarter of a mile up the river Moskva from the Kremlin, where the Alexeyevskii Convent stood until then. The construction of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior dragged on a long time. It was dedicated in 1883 in the presence only of Alexander III and of very few veterans who, seventy years before, took part in the war against Napoleon. The Cathedral survived for less time than it had taken to build it. After the revolution its site was chosen by the Bolshevik rulers for their Palace of the Soviets, and the Cathedral was demolished.

I suppose you are right gypsy!!
One word I understood on this token, was `spasatel`, which means the savior in English.
Thanks!!!
