Rare.
In the Russian Empire, tin-lead alloy medals were primarily produced for collectors and educational use. The soft metal reduced wear on dies, making it ideal for limited or repeat strikes, while also lowering production costs. These medals were well-suited for study collections and displays, and offered collectors a more affordable way to acquire rare types with preserved visual and historical detail.
Obv.: Bust of Emperor Alexander II facing right, within circular legend.
Legend around:
Б . М . АЛЕКСАНДРЪ II ИМПЕРАТОРЪ И САМОДЕРЖЕЦЪ ВСЕРОСС .
(By the Grace of God Alexander II, Emperor and Autocrat of All Russia).

Legend:
ЗА УСЕРДIЕ •
(For Zeal).
The medal "For Zeal" was established in 1801 during the reign of Emperor Alexander I. It was awarded to merchants, townspeople, and peasants for services rendered to the state, as well as to lower military ranks for extended service.
