Paul R Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Some Heroes of the Russian Federation.Were the stars on these made of solid gold as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacHel Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) Were the stars on these made of solid gold as well?Yes. According to the medal specifications contained in the official presidential decree of 20 March 1992, they are composed of 21.5 grams of gold. The brooch and attachment loops are only gold plated though and their gold contents is not included in the 21.5 grams.
