I don't think we would need to warn anyone that this is not a genuine medal. It is in fact a memento made

to mark the 100th anniversary of the start of the Boer War in 1899.

They have had the unusual idea of combining the Queen's South Africa Medal with the King's South

African Medal. (QSA & KSA). The wording shows clearly it's purpose and I will show the other side + a close-up of the wording. Even the two ribbons are shown combined. Mervyn

I would hope that it would be self evident that this numismatic abortion isn't a genuine medal! A nice idea, but 2.0 from even the Russian judge for execution!
