TSAR PETER THE GREAT

Post by aukepalmhof » Thu Aug 02, 2018 8:25 pm

The margins of the sheet feature the personal Tsar's standard with the Russian state coat or arms, a double-headed eagle displayed, and the geographical sea maps symbolising that the Tsar rules over the four seas, i.e. the White, Caspian, Black, and Baltic seas. In the lower margin of the sheet there is a picture of the fortress of St. Peter and Paul and a battleship (ship-of-the-line), a brig, and a galley which symbolise the great navy created by Peter the Great.
