Even faker than 99%.
I knew a collector who was very proud that he was buying up "super rare" Chinese Medals like that for $1 each by the gross. He was not so proud when I told him every single one was absolute junk.
These items are usually all copper in construction often with red (sometimes additional colours) paint and the whole thing is very flat and 2D with a very poor red ribbon. Far from the reality of Chinese awards.
These are available by the thousand and completely worthless in any sort of collecting or historical way and worth a few cents in metal content.
