Ian Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 It's 33 mm. Any idea? At least did you recognize the monogram? Sorry, but I don't recognize the mongram. It is similar to one used by Louis XVI of France, but the one on your piece has what appears to be two `L's interlaced and a `V' binding them. I can't think who that could possibly be, at least not within the time frame of the item. The latin legend certainly does not suggest itself to being Russian.

yafet_rasnal Posted August 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Someone finally id the monogram ...it's the monogram of queen of sweden Louise Ulrica(1751-1771). Now i need to find out the meaning of this medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yafet_rasnal Posted August 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 An italian found the solution. This medal should be connected with the order of Louise Ulrika; the motto of this order was MOTIS IMMOBILIS. The only thing that i still don't know is the reason of this emission.
