The present gold leaf came from one of the original laurel wreaths created for the funeral of Emperor Alexander III in 1894. As a memento, members of the Imperial family were given a golden leaf from one of the funerary wreaths. This gold leaf by Vilhelm Christesen, originally belonged to Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna (1882-1960), the youngest child of the Emperor.
