    Hi François,

    No need "courtesy", this is public information from the Kremlin, as published on their website... :beer:

    Cheers.

    My motto is give credit where credit is due. You're the one that sought them out and found them.

    I was at the Izmailovo market in Moscow in May this year and even then several varations of this medal could already be found.

    Yup, they.re fast aren't they? But the medal above is the only "official" one from the government. All other variations are from civilian and/or veterans' organizations.

    Are you certain of that? I also have different variations of the 50 and 60 Years of Victory Medals, but I have always been under the impression that these were simply made by different mints, using different dies or something like that.

    Unless the medal has the same design and ribbon with finite differences to the one above due to a different mint, then it isn't an official one. Some organizations like Umalatova went as far as using the EXACT same medal and simply adding cheap enamels. I could name you a dozen events with a myriad of commemorative medal with varying designs, yet all only have a single official (governmental) medal. And yes, I am absolutely sure about this.

    In the next few days (because this weekend I don't have the time), I'll post some of the medals you mentioned, and I'll ID the orgs that spat them out. For example, have a look at post #4 of this thread: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=37199

    From the collecting point of view, this medal is interesting because it was not produced only by the Mint of the Russian Federation
    but also by some CIS states Mintspecifically from Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Belarus, then there are five variants of the medal,
    while as regards the documents there are four types.
    Below I show you the five variants of the Medal
    MMD (Moscow Mint)
