This Novodel was struck by the mint from a unique Gold medal. The original was presented in 1810 to the town of Uleaborg (Oulu, a provincial capital in northern Finland) to acknowledge the services given by its citizens to the Russian army during the 1808-1809 War. Today it resides in the town’s treasury vault. Cf.JRNS No. 30, pp.17-20.
