Hendrik Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vorbeste Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 (edited) 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?
