And it can't be quite the same, because the one at the beginning of the discussion is the cast copy of the forgery I showed - which is clearly visible on the reverse.

This is a very well-known forgery, produced since about 2000 (Chelyabinsk forgery workshop in Russia).

This is not a "novodel", but a forgery (cast copy, or galvano).

In January of this year I described this particular copy on a Russian internet forum
