SMOLNY CATHEDRAL MEDAL

  While searching the web for other things I came across
  a reference to a medal honoring the famous Smolny
  Cathedral (1748-1754),  in St. Petersburg, Russia.

  "Construction of the Smolny Cathedral was officially
  completed in 1835, and the church was consecrated on
  July 22, 1835, and in honor of the event a large bronze
  medal was hammered out with the dates of the beginning
  and ending of the cathedral's construction: "1748-1835."

  Curious to view an image of the medal, I honed my web
  search but came up empty-handed.   As large as the web is,
  of course, it's only the tip of the iceberg of human knowledge.
  Are any of our readers familiar with this medal?  In what
  reference is it pictured?
