Description:
A thematic souvenir series dedicated to the era of Peter I and the iconography of St. Petersburg. The design of the packages is unified: golden background, at the top there is a subtle "Petrovskie" logo, in the center there are linear illustrations (The Bronze Horseman, the sailing ship "Natalya", the Menshikov Palace, the Palace of Peter I, etc.). The decor is restrained, graphic, with an artistic, representative accent. The set is presented in the original box with a bronze-tone lid and the silhouette of the Bronze Horseman; the box shows normal signs of storage (edge scuffs, spot scratches). All 10 packs – unopened, cellophane wrapped.
Value assessment:
– Collectible value: higher. A complete set of 10 pieces with a box and unopened packages is less common on the market than individual "Petrovskie" ones; the theme (Petersburg, symbols of Peter I) is attractive to a wider segment of the USSR souvenir market.
– Condition assessment: packages – excellent, unopened; box – good, with localized corner/edge wear and a small stain on the cover.
– Historical data and popularity: The series is associated with the representative souvenir segment of the USSR ("first class, with filter"). The "Bronze Horseman" motif and the architecture of the Peter the Great era are among the most recognizable visuals, which is why the sets are often sought after by both tobacciana and St. Petersburg-themed collectors.
