Bernhard Karl von Koehne
Baron Bernhard Karl von Köhne (Russian: Бернгард (Борис) Васильевич Кёне; Boris Vasilievich Kene; 4 July 1817 – 5 February 1886) was born in Berlin, and moved to St Petersburg in 1845 to take up a post with the Russian civil service. He was the director of the section for arms in the heraldic department of the Russian senate, and a well known numismatist in imperial Russia.[1] After falling out of favour with the scholarly circles in St Petersburg, he applied for Finnish citizenship in 1859, but it was not granted.[citation needed]
He was elected as an associate academician of the Belgian Royal Academy on 13 May 1861.[2]
