The medal commemorating the conclusion of the peace treaty, signed by Napoleon I, the Russian Emperor Alexander I and the King of Prussia Friedrich William III in Tilsit on July 7, 1807, after the French victories over Prussia and Russia in 1806–1807, was released on the anniversary of the historic event.

The obverse of the medal demonstrates the use of modern technology in manufacturing — casting with imitation 3D, sandblasting and antique coating. Thanks to this design, some elements of the product are brought to the foreground, while others remain in the background. The top level of the metal is made glossy by careful polishing, which cannot be done in the lines below the top level of the metal — sandblasting is applied to them, which further emphasizes all levels of metal. On the obverse of the medal is the inscription “Peace of Tilsit” in three languages (Russian, French and German) and the historical date “1807”, which is decorated with two laurel branches. On the reverse side of the medal is the coat of arms of the city of Tilsit, where the historical events took place. Throughout its history, the coat of arms of Tilsit has undergone changes. For a long time, the coat of arms similar to the image on the seal with a rather naturalistic image of the fortress was used: with the prongs and the central tower. The shield of the coat of arms had a characteristic shape in the Baroque style.

In Tilsit, East Prussia (now the town of Sovetsk, Kaliningrad region), two separate treaties were signed: between Russia and France (July 7, 1807) and between France and Prussia (July 9, 1807) ending the war of 1806–1807, in which Russia had helped Prussia. The Peace of Tilsit was concluded as a result of personal negotiations between Emperors Alexander I of Russia and Napoleon I of France. On June 13/25, 1807, both emperors met on a raft in the middle of the river Neman and had a private conversation in the roofed pavilion for about an hour. Under the terms of the peace treaty, signed on June 25 (July 7), 1807, Russia agreed to the creation of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw and joined the continental blockade of England. In fact, the monarchs divided between them the spheres of influence in Europe: Western and Central Europe became the sphere of influence of France, while Eastern and North-Western Europe — the sphere of influence of the Russian Empire. A separate act formalized the offensive and defensive Russian-French alliance.
