PJ01B. Matryoshka Lapel Pin

photo55.jpg

This gold Matryoshka Lapel pin is painted in enamel red, yellow and green and is has raised letters spelling the words: PYCCKUE MATPEWKU

The letters spell the words “Russian Matryoshka” but they are an unusual spelling (MATPEWKU rather than MATPEWKA). This is because the words are actually written in Ukrainian instead of Russian and use a slightly different spelling and different Cyrillic character set than Russian.
