    Hello Vorbeste,

    Your medal is a later private manufacture, similar to the original Italian Mint issue, but with the king's head facing the wrong way.

    The original official medal looks like this :

    The metal it's made of is indeed silver and below the king's effigy one can read the name of the designer L. Giorgi.

    Cheers,

    Hendrik

    hi Hendrik,

    many thanks. have you seen this tipe yet?

    it is wery interesting, what you write. because, i think, it is easier to copy an old medal then make a new tool.

    the medal is not new. probably a replacement from the 1930-ies?
