Schtelin in 1750s. The decision to carve dies of medals of portraits of Russian rulers from Ryurik to Peter I from the collection of Academy of Science was sanctioned by the Royal Court. The inscriptions on the medals were taken from Mikhail Lomonosov`s Short Russian Chronicle, and the portraits were based on a series of 32 carvings in green jasper by Johann Dorsch from the 1740s. The series was struck at the beginning of 1770s and became widely known both in Russia and abroad. It also served as a study aid in Russian gymnasiums.
