HAVING SAID ALL THAT ,THEY PRESENT WELL AND I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING SIMILAR .THEY RELATE TO A PIECE OF RUSSIAN/BRITISH HISTORY THAT IS SELDOM REFERRED TO .
THE TOP PRINT IS WRITTEN IN RUSSIAN , THE BOTTOM ONE WRITTEN IN ENGLISH .THEY RELATE TO AN ADDRESS THANKING COMMODORE EDWARDS AND THE CREW OF HMS KENT FOR HELPING RUSSIA DURING THE CONFLICT IN THE FAR EAST OF THE COUNTRY .
