Jeton of the First Russian Cadet Corps Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich
Record status
Individual type · partial
Period
1932
This jeton is associated with the First Russian Cadet Corps of Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich, a military educational institution that operated in Yugoslavia from 1920 to 1944.
Constructed from a combination of silver and bronze, the piece features partial enameling. The design is presented in the form of a cross, measuring 37 mm by 37 mm and weighing approximately 16 grams. The central motif incorporates a crowned monogram, likely representing the Grand Duke, with wings and sword elements, set against a black and white enameled cross structure. The reverse side bears an engraved date of 1931, though the listing title notes 1932.
The piece is equipped with an attached chain for suspension. The jeton served as a commemorative or institutional item for the cadets, many of whom went on to participate in military service during the Second World War. It is identified by its specific association with the émigré Russian military community in exile.
