As I mentioned in the PM, I base my call on having handled more than 25 Halhingol badges. I have NEVER seen a large style Monetnii Dvor nut on either a Halhingol or any other badge that I can think of, excepting suspension medals and orders. The screwposts and nuts have either been excessively small for such a big badge about the size of a US dime to the size of a US quarter. I can't remember seeing a screwpost of sufficient diameter to accompany your pictured Monetnii Dvor nut. As to the silver reverse, I have only seen the "mirror" reverse, partially mirrored reverse, or the smooth background as in your type. All have been bronze, but maybe the silver wash was removed. As to the colors of the enamel, maybe it's the scanner or some other color transferrance problem.
Has anyone else seen a Halhingol, or for my further education, ANY 1930-1950period badge with this large Monetnii Dvor nut?
