Sergy Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 It's different from coinarchives. Don't you think it's the copy or fantasy? How serious the seller is? Quote

Hussulo Posted August 25, 2007 Author Posted August 25, 2007 (edited) I received the medal today.It is very nice with high reliefs. However it appears made in two parts, you can make out a slight join along the edge. Also were there is slight damage to the nose, right eyebrow and right hand side of the hat, the damaged area is shinny. I don't know what kind of metal it is but doubt it is silver. Maybe white metal.The detail in the beard clothes hat and reverse is superb.In all probability it is a copy of the gold original/s and if so I would say it is an older copy done 100+ years ago.I might try to take clearer pictures.
