Hello IR61

An interesting medal made by casting with the subsequent joining of halves. The cast edge of the medal and the characteristic crack created during production.

Hi Slawek.

 

Interesting, is this a common method? Never seen befor. Is this medal an early exampel or is it only from another manufacturer?

 

kind regards Tommy

This is fake medal. No medals were made by casting method.

Certainly not your usual mint-made medal but die casting was used from time to time by private manufacturers. 

In fact this medal was made by joining two halves.

 

 

Each half was die casted.
