Peter I’s Breast Star of the Order of the Elephant

See https://asiamedals.info/threads/order-of-the-elephant-diploma-of-peter-i-the-great-of-russia.25502/

Portrait of Peter the Great by Benedikt Kofra court painter of the Danish king. Most likely it was painted in the summer or autumn of 1716 when the tsar was on a long visit to Copenhagen.

 

It is not clear how this breast star ended up on the tunic of Peter II (he was not awarded the Order of the Elephant).

On display at Moscow Kremlin.
