Assayed by Anatoly Apollonovich Artsybashev. 50gms total weight, 2 cm high, 5.2 cm diameter. Provenance: The collection was forged with the vendor's great grandfather, who was a Russian Silversmith in Moscow and immigrated to Italy around 1895.

The collection was passed to the vendor's grandfather who immigrated to Australia in 1923 and hence by descent to the current owner.
