Noor Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hi, I just came accross with that disk and would like to know a little pit more - how rare medal it is, fair price for that, etc. Also I presume there is plenty of copies floating around. Any help regards the authenticity regards the disk and the price would be great. Regards, Noor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 The medal is known in silver and bronze, from your illustration it appears to be lead or a lead alloy, if lead it is unofficial. Or is it just a bad photo and it is silver. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it just a bad photo and it is silver. Paul As far as I remember all 253 000 medals were minted in silver in St.Petersburg mint in 1855-1856. There are two versions. "With point" and "without point". Let`s take a look at them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanX Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 "Without point" (it is believed that this version is more scare than previous and it also was minted a little bit later - that`s why they sometime call it "after 1855") Obverse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanX Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Any help regards the authenticity regards the disk and the price would be great. By these photos? Come on Timo! Well, it looks like "dishonored" silver "without point" to me. But I can`t be sure with these photos Price?
