Please read to the end. Fabergé is most famous for being the court jeweler to the last Tsar, and the Russian national treasury-level Easter eggs were custom-made by him for the Tsar. Due to too many orders, he invited top master craftsmen from various countries, while he himself was responsible for providing designs for the company. In fact, none of the works were personally made by his own hands. This chess set is also a product branded by Fabergé and produced by the Franklin Mint. If you are a collector of foreign coins, you should be familiar with the Franklin Mint. Initially, it was a private enterprise specializing in minting coins, producing coin sets for countries around the world that could not create their own intricate commemorative coins. Later, its business expanded to various types of commemorative items, including this collectible, which also comes with a certificate from their factory.
