This image from Rick shows what seems to be a later version rather than the matt finished earlier example. He thinks that although the medals have a different metal composition and finish they are both made from the same die.

...And quality is noticeable poorer*
Thanks for showing these examples!


*is this word correct?:confused:
There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

The Who, Won't get fooled again

You're welcome Esteban,

I certainly know what you mean when you say poorer so i'm sure nobody has a problem with that ;)

Here is a well worn example. Heavily worn by a proud "liberator".
