    Happy New Year Medal from Moscow Mint


    JapanX

    Recommended Posts

    You know 3/4 of all medals minted in Russia in the past 20 years have been mere souvenirs, public medals, associative items, and crap like this... A few minutes on the zaslugi web site will discourage most to even consider collecting modern Russian ODMs.

    That's why I've spent sooooo many long hours seeking out Presidential Decrees and ministerial orders to ID the real awards. THat's also why I've spent sooooo many long hours on Wikipedia putting together these pages:

    I think the best medal that came out of Russia was in the 1990's was the commemorative for the first McDonalds a truly fantastic work of art. When are they going to do a McMammoth medal (burgers made from the finest Siberian defrosted mammoth meat) or does it exist already?
