Charles XII was the King who should have gotten title "the Great" not Peter I. Charles had to take on five adversaries. He destroyed the first four/ then the Russians at Narva. By 1709 at the Ukrainian  place called Poltava/ he lost by attrition/ extended supply lines and fighting battle after battle. Friedrich II "Der Grosse" faced even bigger odds but won by skill and a little luck that Czarina Elizabeth croaked when Russian cossaks were rampaging Berlin. Her son Peter III made Peace with Prussia and left Friedrich to finish off Austrian/ French armies.

this little jewel was in my mailbox this morning ..we'd all given up on it and i'd just got my money back two days ago (of course i paid for it again this morning ^^ 2 extra US $ due to currency fluctuation)

...a noble, worthwhile (and less expensive) cause  🙂   with all the collectors here (and over there) not too much will go unIDed...they figured out what this was when i thought i maybe i had a Poor Knights of Jesus coin...9_9...(i love it for what it is..^^)
