Russia, Imperial. A Siege of Narva Campaign Medal, c.1704

In die struck bronze, obverse illustrating the right-facing bust of Peter the Great, surrounded by the Latin inscription "PETRVS. ALEXII. D.G. RVSS. IMP. M. DVXMOSCOVIAE" (Peter Alexeyevich, By the Grace of God, Russian Emperor and Grand Duke of Moscow) and engraver marked "T.I." (Timofei (Timofey) Ivanov), reverse illustrating a battle scene from the Siege of Narva, inscribed in Latin "CECIDERE AB ORIGINEPRIMA. LVCERT." (Separated From Their Roots, Lucretius) above and "NARVA VI CAPTA 9. AUG. ST. V." (Narva Conquered by Attack, August 9) below, 46.3 mm, edge nicks, surface wear, contact marks, near very fine. Footnote: This medal is a copy of Heinrich Mueller's Series. The original series, engraved by the medallist Heinrich Mueller, was commissioned by Peter I while in Germany. The series commemorated Russian victories over Sweden in the Great Northern War (1700-1721). Narva was the setting of the first significant battle in November 1700, when Swedish troops, although outnumbered four to one, defended the city. The Battle of Narva was the second Russian siege of Swedish Narva during the Great Northern War, resulting in the capture of the town by Russia on August 9, 1704, and the subsequent massacre of some of its Swedish inhabitants. Timofei (Timofey) Ivanov was a die-cutter at the St. Petersburg Mint who was active from 1750 to 1796.
