A Russian  Imperial-era  St. Anne Medal was auctioned for a record price of $70,800, earlier this month by Kaminski Auctions in New York City.
The medal is designed with red enamel on a gold cross in a diamond setting and includes an image of St. Anne.

The ornate medal is an excellent example of jewelry designs produced for the Czar.
