№121908The badge of the Community of St. Elizabeth

The Russian Empire. The silver badge of the "Community of St. Elizabeth" (the Committee for Strengthening the Funds of the Elizabethan Community of the Sisters of Mercy of the Russian Red Cross Society) is a commemorative and charitable sign. The name of the owner, K.F. Mornar, and the year 1901 are engraved on the reverse. The Russian Red Cross Society was under the August patronage of H.I.V. Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna and was located in the Tauride Palace in St. Petersburg. Around 1900, the award badge of the community was established in the form of a diamond with the monogram "E" under the imperial crown, which was given to persons of both sexes for monetary donations and personal efforts to help the ROCC. The badges were made of silver and gold and were worn by men on a chain, and by women on a pin in the form of a brooch. The citizen's full name is on the reverse.
