Here is a link to the official coronation web site.

A new Order had been instituted and a series of 3 Medals (bronze, silver & gold ) for merit to the State of Johor, that do not requires the award of an Order.

All who lives or have lived in Malaysia, or are interested in Malaysia ODM knows that Johor awards its Order & Medals much more sparingly than others States of the Federation of Malaysia.

Hello Gentlemen,

I had heard about fake of the Sultan Ibrahim Coronation Medal 2015, without seeing one, but here it is. It's aFake 2nd Class !!! 

I do not know if 3rd Class Medal in bronze have been faked.

On original medals, the details are crisp.

I hope it could help you, not to buy, if ever these fakes comes up to ebay, or others plateform.

Regards to all.
