The medal is unquestionably fake. In addition to the rim and lack of wear, the letters are all too "chunky."
The doc is interesting and at first glance could be real, but I'd want to see a better scan. Notice how the medal's image runs into the top line of text. This is a possible, contemporary printing error making it all the rarer, but also the mark of a modern printer reproducing old documents and not getting it right.
