Congratulations on an important book In a 1978 book on Hedlinger that I have there are the following images related to Russia: 3 different medals of Anna, a medal for count Ostermann, one-sided (unfinished) medal of Elizabeth, and.... the FAMOUS Hedlinger rouble. I wonder what images/information were compiled into this early book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well worth downloading the pdf as the images are so much better viewed using Adobe than online. This screen capture does not fully show the quality of the images but does give some indication of it.
