Description
This medal is part of the series ordered by Peter the Great in Germany, from Phillipp Heinrich Mueller, a well-known medal
die-cutter from Augsburg, to commemorate Russian victories in the war with Sweden of 1702-1714. However, our specimen is a
later copy executed by Timofey Ivanov, who was active as a die-cutter at St. Petersburg Mint from 1750 through 1796.
