Greenwich Maritime Museum describe it thus:
Medal commemorating the peace between Charles XII and Stanislas. Obverse: The arms of Sweden and Poland, side by side, crowned and joined with a garland above and palm branches below. Legend: 'VIRTUTE CONCORDES CONCORDIA INVICTI'. Exergue: 'SVECIAE ET POLONIAE REGNORVM AETERNVM FOEDVS'. Reverse: Starboard quarter view of a three-masted ship under sail, tossed in a rough sea. The stars Castor and Pollux above (left) and (right). Legend: 'LUCIS SPES CERTA SERENAE'. Exergue: 'CAROLI XII STANISL: AETERNA AMICITIA'.
Made 1704
Mine is a copy. Possibly silver wash on copper, but probably nickel plated. I'm sure of the copper part as the edge has been acid tested, despite being marked as a copy. Which leads me to my question. It seems that KOPIA means copy in both Swedish and Polish, so can anyone identify this edge mark for me?
