An enamelled gold presentation jeton of the Russo-Asiatic bank

marks rubbed, circa 1914
the obverse with Cyrillic inscription "Russo-Asiatic Bank Chuguchak Department" centred with a coiling dragon against guilloché yellow ground, the reverse with Cyrillic inscription "Ivan Klimentievich Pimenov" and dated 1914 against blue guilloché ground,
height: 3.5cm (1 3/8in).

Footnotes

A 1910 merger between the Russo-Chinese Bank and Banque du Nord established the Russo-Asiatic bank. Ivan Klimentievich Pimenov was a major stock holder, director and sat on the board of the bank's Novo-Nikolaevsk branch. The Chuguchak branch named on the jeton was presumably located in the town of the same name near the Sino-Kazakstan border.
