Is the "Monetnii" double struck?

Thanks Alexei, it sure looks better on these scans.

I don't think so. Obviously, it's genuine, but they did try to do something to it - the reverse looks like it has been polished and sandblasted/wirebrushed, and the patina on the back is weird.

you think my medal is copy?

[EricFG]

No. But they think the serial number may have been altered.

I didn't say either. It is obvious to me that it has been messed with. I can't tell from pictures what exactly happened to it.

Hello claretbaron,

looks okay to me.

This is a variaiton with handwritten serial numer in the middle of the reverse,
found between s/n: 372.358 to 401.579.

By the photo it is difficult to judge the number.

best regards
Andreas
