This small-format medal, engraved by Johann Memmius in Stettin, commemorates King Karl XII’s military achievements during the early years of the Great Northern War. The reverse imagery depicts a lion – symbol of Sweden – toppling two classical columns, likely representing the monarch’s victories over multiple enemies. Its small size and stylized composition suggest it may have served a propagandistic or educational purpose.
