A medal commemorating the celebrations also featured similar portraits of Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov (the founder of the dynasty) and Emperor Nicholas II— its last representative. The regulations and medals "In memory of the 300th anniversary of the reign of the House of Romanov" were approved by the Emperor on February 21, 1913. The design of the medal was developed by senior medallist of the St. Petersburg Mint A. F. Vasyutinsky. The author of the bas—relief on the obverse of the medal is the sculptor M. A. Kerzin. The medals were made of light bronze. Private firms and workshops on special orders cast medals from gilded silver and, in rare cases, from gold. Medals were worn on the chest on a ribbon of "coat of arms" colors — white, orange and black stripes of the same size. The medal was awarded:
