Note
Highly collectible piece with beautiful patina and mirror-like lustre in the fields. The only known piece on the market! It cannot be clearly determined whether this is an original 18th century mintage. Probably a later ducat gold coinage. The design of the medal is highly representative of the coinage of Tsar Peter the Great. Missing from the Mikhailovich collection. Minor hairlines and slight edge defects.
