Silver coin with Tsarevich Alexei

I have been trying to identify this coin (image attached) and I have been very unsuccessful.  Could someone please tell me the history/origin, what it says and its value?

  Welcome to the site.  
 It will not be a coin, as it has no face value or date or country, and looks more like a commemorative medallion. Will have a look to see if I can find anything, though I neither speak nor write Russian (Cyrillic).
 I rotated and cropped images, though they were already cut-off slightly ...


EDIT: I found a few words (on 1st image) that translated successfully from what I typed ...
ИМЕНИ  =  NAME
Е.И.В. НАСЛЕДНИКА ЦЕСАРЕВИЧА  =  HIH TSAREVICH
И ВЕЛИКАГО  =  AND GRAND
КНЯЗЯ  =  PRINCE
ЗА  =  FOR
И  =  AND

 Although, having thought the lettering might be Russian, it could be Ukrainian - as some lettering makes more sense when translated from that language to English.
 For example - on 2nd image is ...
ЦЕСАРЕВИЧ  =  CROWN PRINCE  (in Ukrainian)
ЦЕСАРЕВИЧ  =  TSESAREVICH  (in Russian)
 Then again could be Bulgarian or Tajik, and so on.  

I would greatly appreciate any help I can get.......THANK YOU

Russian during the Russian Empire had a little bit different spelling of words etc.
The medal is in Russian language, not Ukrainian.

right picture can be Bosnian
If yes, you can read : 'Successor Cesarevic and Grand Duke Alexei Nikolaevich
But indeed, russian in those days was written somewhat different

This one?

Under his name (left pic): Коммерческое УЧилище : commercial school  ?

Thank you so much for the translation - that is a start.....does anyone know the history?  Why it was made....was it a special occasion?  A birthday?  

Also has anyone ever seen this medallion before or know it's value?  Or know where I can locate this information?  I really appreciate any assistance

Well your search window begins between 1904 and 1918 (the years of his life) and he looks like a young boy at the time similar to this (even the outfit is similar):

compared to later in his life in 1916 at the age of 12.

My opinion is that if this medal was posthumous he would of looked more like the teenage image and it would not be from Russia, or the Soviet states. The only other Cyrillic using countries between the World Wars were Serbia and Bulgaria (I think).

The text below the branch means "for good spirit and success is sciences". I guess this is some kind of a medal to recognize successful students in some kind of a commercial school. This school was based in Harbin (China) where lots of Russians escaped to after 1917 revolution. The school was likely some kind of a trade school or probably related to railroad.

Previous post hits the nail on the head.

Reverse:
Харбинское Августѣйшаго имени Е.И.В. Наслѣдника Цесаревича и Великаго Князя Алексѣя Николаевича коммерческое училище = Harbin Commerce School of the Augustine name of His Imperial Highness Successor Tsarevich and Grand Duke Alexej Nikolajevich (Augustine was an honorary title of the imperial family, referring to the Roman emperor August);
За благонравіе и успехи в науках = For well behavior and successes in studies

Obverse:
Е.И.В. Наслѣдникъ Цесаревичъ и Великій Князь Алексѣй Николайевичъ = His Imperial Highness Successor Tsarevich and Grand Duke Alexej Nikolajevich (Е.И.В. = Его Императорское Величество)

Pity that the medal is undated: the orthography is pre-revolutionary, but Russians in exile held on quite long to this 'old' orthography, long after a spelling reform had been adopted in the Soviet Union in 1918.

Two Harbin Commercial Schools (for male and female students) were opened by the management of the Chinese Eastern Railroad (Russian property in China) in 1906 and existed until 1927 when they changed names and were incorporated into the Soviet system of education.  Gold and silver medals were awarded to the best students.
The medal in the first post is supposed to be silver, ... but it doesn't look like one. The color and workmanship is very similar to recent Chinese copies of Russian numismatic rarities. Some of these copies react to a magnet, others don't, but it does not make them original.

I agree somewhat with Andrey. If it is made for students, then there should be only one.
It would be very strange that such a unique item comes in private hands.
And we all know that the chinese love to make copies of rareties, not only russian.
They very well know coin catalogues and the rare coins in it.

I know that this is an original, I also have the case in came in.  I inherited it from my ex father-in-law.  He was born and raised in Russia, and came to the United States the war.  It is silver, but tarnished.  I did not want to clean it in fear of harming it.  

So I am to understand that this is really a one of a kind item?  Each year was a gold, silver and bronze given to the top 3 students?
