chagall12 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Hi All. Grateful for comments on this Katherine II medal cf Diakov 142 .38.5 mm 21.1 g. Apparently not gold as indicated in script on reverse that is button like. But is die original ? and why was this made ? and how frequent ?

Loyal Citizen Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Hi All. Grateful for comments on this Katherine II medal cf Diakov 142 .38.5 mm 21.1 g. Apparently not gold as indicated in script on reverse that is button like. But is die original ? and why was this made ? and how frequent ? This looks like a splasher made to test the obverse die. Possibly, gilded later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
