Augustus set
Set includes 24 figures of monarchs from all major countries in Europe. The monarchs are dressed in historical uniforms with national orders of chivalry. The coats of arms related to these persons are depicted on the stands. We tried to convey the portrait resemblance as much as possible. It is worth noting that three characters are included in this list with a certain degree of conventionality. These are Infante Carlos, Duke of Madrid, who was a legitimate claimant to the throne of France; Duke Henry of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, who was only a consort to the beautiful Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands; Giovanni Battista Ceschi a Santa Croce, who was the Grand Master of the ancient and famous Order of Malta.
Each tin soldier is handmade by the finest craftsmen in the industry.
Here are all 24 miniatures from the set.
