Interesting, that on official line drawing we don`t see inscription "for distinction in service"

Nick excellent integration,

but why, I just can not seem to find the version with the serial number and the doc

[SergioV]

The silver one.. ( web pictures - not mine )

[JapanX]

Hmmm

I wonder what is this piece...

No number

No inscription "for distinction in service".

Most likely some truffatore decided to silver jubilee variation

[JapanX]

Nick excellent integration,

You mean integrazione?

but why, I just can not seem to find the version with the serial number and the doc

Don`t worry.

With the lapse of time you will find yourself one

On the original issues, from 1994, what's the difference?  Some have a mintmark on the reverse of the planchet, some have a mintmark on the suspension ring, some have no mintmark...  Is it just a difference in where the medals were made [Moscow or Saint Petersburg], or is it an indicator of genuine or reproduction?

From my research, since 2010, this medal is awarded only for "combat service/military merit" and is struck in silver.  It is no longer [since 2010] awarded to veterans of the Great Patriotic War due to their veteran status.

Does anyone know where it is possible to buy these medals with serial numbers? I would have imagined that Russian auction sites were best to go, but I don't know if it is permissible to buy them online and send to Great Britain today, with custom laws, and sanctions.

Zhukov medal is an official award and it is prohibited to buy and sell any. But you can try to explore https://meshok.net/ or https://forum.faleristika.info/ 

 

 

Here is a numbered example in silver by the Moscow Mint.

Okay, thank you for the information!
