Commemorative patriotic badge of 1917 with portrait of A.F. Kerensky

Bronze, stamping. The original sign is in very good collector's condition. In the center of the obverse is a relief chest portrait of A. F. Kerensky in a civilian suit with a tie. On the left, in a semicircle, there is a relief inscription in the old spelling: "A·Ѳ·KERENSKY" (A. F. Kerensky). The reverse is stamped with the revolutionary slogan "Forward for the freedom of Russia!" Such commemorative signs were mass-produced by private workshops and factories (for example, the famous Moscow factory of Dmitry Kuchkin) immediately after the February Revolution of 1917. At that time, Kerensky held the posts of Minister of Justice, then Minister of War and Navy, and finally head of the Provisional Government, being the main symbol of the "New Free Russia." Guarantee of authenticity.
