The Russian Gold Medal of Merit, 1860. Creator: Unknown

The Russian Gold Medal of Merit, 1860. His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Russia has conferred upon Mr. Charles Frodsham of the Strand, London, the Grand Gold Medal of Merit (weighing 32 sovereigns), in testimony of the services which he has rendered to Russia by the supply of many accurate chronometers which facilitated and contributed so much to the success of the great Russian survey. Mr. Frodsham possesses, among other medals of merit, the Grand Gold Medal of Honour, awarded to him by the Emperor of the French for the superiority of his manufactures'. British horologist Charles Frodsham (1810-1871) founded the firm of Charles Frodsham & Co, which remains in existence as the longest continuously trading firm of chronometer manufacturers in the world.
