Info about the original Medal: Medal commemorating the Marriage of the Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh and Grand Duchess Marie Alexandrovna of Russia 1874This handsome medal shows on the obverse the conjoint heads of the Grand Duchess and the Duke facing right, with the legend: 'MARIE ALEXANDROWNA. ALFRED'. The reverse shows their arms accollés, with an angel behind supporting a ribbon with '23 JANUARY 1874' on it. In the exergue is a joint emblem of rose, thistle and shamrock. Schnitzspahn was the son of a Court jeweller in Darmstadt, and, after training in Berlin and London, he returned to Darmstadt, where he was appointed in 1858 Court and Mint Engraver. He produced medals for several German Courts, including the Prussian one, and also for Russia. Probably commissioned by the bride's family, the medal stresses her greater status as an Imperial Highness by placing her in front of the Duke, unlike the medals of the event minted in the United Kingdom.
