This small-format lead medal is part of the Karlsteen school series and may represent a student's exercise or commemorative casting related to the Battle of Narva. Though lacking a precise date or engraver’s name, it clearly belongs to the early 18th-century patriotic typology, celebrating Karl XII’s role as protector of the Swedish people. Rare in this composition.
