Table Medal "250 Years Of Leningrad Mint".

I just bought this lovely 250 years of Leningrad Mint table medal.

Made of bronze. Diameter 2 1/2".

It says on the front:

"Leningrad Mint. Goznak. USSR Ministry of Finances. 1724-1974. 250"

I love all those orders as samples of their products on the reverse of the medal!

One more memorial medal from Leningrad Mint.

Bronze. Diameter 2 1/2".

Front reads:

"Founded in year 1724"

Reverse of the same Mint medal.

Reads:

"Leningrad Mint. Goznak Ministery of Finances of USSR."

I think the Mint was awarded Order of Labor Banner - hence the image of the order.

Your last pic is a "Gift Shop" table medal...

In Russia famous landmarks have these for sale to the visitors.

I used to collect these in Russia when I visited new cities...

Old Churches used to sell several variations: several Plastic ones in different colors and some in brass (more $$$)

Rusty.
