name of a Russian medal

[pieter1012]

Hi Forum members,

a friend of mine, a general in the Dutch army, received this medal from the Russian Federation, but he doesn't remember the name anymore and asked me. Unfortunately, I have no books on medals of the Russian Federation. The face looks a bit of that on the former order of Kutuzov. Sorry that the medal is partly blemished. Somehow happened because it is mounted  behind the U.S. Commendation. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks and regards,

It's a commemorative medal for 300 years of the Russian Navy.

Hallo Balkan collector,

thank you very much. The person in question is an army general, so surprising that he received a navy commemorative medal. Perhaps he joined some ceremony celebrating 300 years of the Russian navy. regards,

No problem!

Yes, that's strange. The theory of him being at the ceremony sound like the most likely scenario.

I will ask him some day how he got this medal. Regards, Pieter
