KLIMENTOFF, WASSILI (Russ.). Medallist of the second half of the eighteenth century. Very few medals only are signed B. K. by him and these have erroneously been attributed by Reichel and others to Bernard Koch. There is however no doubt at all that the signature B. K. on Russian medals of this period stands for Bac??i? K??MeHTOB?, or K??MOB? as he is sometimes called. Klimentoff cut the large Memorial medal on the Death of the Empress Elizabeth, which bears his full signature : B. K??MeHTOB?. In 1762 he was called with his assistant, Michael Nikitin, to St. Petersburg, to help in the execution of the Coronation Medals of Catherine II. By this Engraver are also copies of : Accession Medal of Peter the Great, Commemorative Medal ; — Construction of the Russian Fleet; — The Four Fleets (after Gouin); — Coronation of Catherine I., (after Schultz), &c. Bibliography. — Iversen, Medaillen auf die Thalen Peter des Grossen, 1872. — Archives of the St. Petersburg Mint.
