I just got a new state prize for my collection. I need some info about it. I think it´s Ukrainian and I wonder if it´s made of gold or just goldplated. How many awards was given and last what does the text say on the reverse?

Does anyone know what the text says?
Laureate prize of Ukraine c c p?

Sovvisor,

first of all congratulations!!!

I am sure that when Huligan calms down and gets back from the cardiac ward, he may respond in a civilized manner.

All jokes aside, I am not sure how authentic this piece is... In my non-educated opinion, I can only see that the text on the back is very well pronounced on the top and not so much on the bottom... very hard to achieve if simply worn.

Secondly, the letters look a bit like cast...

Other than that I would have paid $100 US just for a pretty medal...

Never seen one - but judging from the scans, I would say it is made of gold, and I can't really see anything wrong about it.

It says: "The Recipient of State Prize of Ukraine"
Letters PCP (RSR) mean in Ukrainian language: R- Soviet (Radyanska); S- Socialist (Socialistichna); R- Republick (Respulika).

Gents, here's mine. It is a tombak medal, with a very correct gold-plating. There exist two types of suspension,, tw types of s/n engraving or stamped. The medal s/n must match with the document's one.
A lot of unissued medals without s/n are avalaible on the market; I saw an uggly cast fake with poor details.
