In order to award those low-ranked men from the Preobrazhensky and Semenovsky Regiments, who distinguished themselves at the Battle of Poltava, two types of medals were produced at the Moscow Kadyshevsky mint: 81 g sergeants’ medals (for non-commissioned officers), and 42 g soldiers’ medals. The reverse side of the medals conferred to the non-commissioned officers contained a depiction of the cavalry battle; and the reverse side of the soldier medals depicted infantry fighting. In total, 4618 medals were produced.
