Comment
The Battle of Poltava on 27 June 1709 (8 July, N.S.) was the decisive victory of Peter I of Russia, also known as Peter the Great, over the Swedish forces under Field Marshal Carl Gustav Rehnskiöld, in one of the battles of the Great Northern War. It is widely believed to have been the beginning of Sweden's decline as a Great Power, as the Tsardom of Russia took its place as the leading nation of north-eastern Europe. The battle also bears major importance in Ukrainian national history, as Hetman of Zaporizhian Host Ivan Mazepa sided with the Swedes, seeking to create an uprising in the Ukraine against the Tsardom.Interesting fact
The 1990 Soviet Union Platinum 150 Roubles coin commemorating the Battle of Poltava is interesting because it was minted during the final year of the Soviet Union's existence, making it a unique piece of history.
