Tin-lead alloy medals are rarely found in excellent condition, as the metal is prone to oxidation and easily susceptible to mechanical damage.
This medal commemorates the Emancipation Reform of 1861, one of the most significant social transformations in Imperial Russia. Issued during the reign of Alexander II, it marks the official abolition of serfdom, granting personal freedom to millions of peasants. The inclusion of saintly figures above the freed peasant symbolizes spiritual guidance and divine sanction of the reform.
