KOENIG, OTTFRIED (Germ.). Medallist at Moscow, 1718-1724, whose productions are signed 0. K. Schlickeysen observes that this signature (and also K. 0.) occurs on medals of Peter the Great, for which however dies of the Augsburg Medallist P. H. Müller, who died in 1718, were used. The Moscow Roubles of 1718-1724 are the work of Koenig (one of 1724 illustrated), and apparently also the following medals : Second Expedition of the Russian Fleet to Finland; — Another, on the sameevent; R. A variety of last; — Naval Victory over the Swedes at Tweremünde near Hangô-Udd (2 var.) ; — Capture of three Swedish Frigates on 5. May 1719 ; — War Medal for the Cossacks, 1723 ; — Coronation Medal of Catherine I., 1724, &c. Iversen, Medaillen auf die Thaten Peter des Grossen, Int. XXIII, notes that the Medal and Rouble of Catherine I., signed 0. K. (or K. 0.) are entirely the work of Ottfried König.
