Medal "For Participation In The Main Naval Parade".

[CtahhR]

Here is the Medal "For Participation In The Main Naval Parade" (Медаль «За Участие В Главном Военно-Морском Параде») which was created by Order #360 of 7th May 2017. Awarded to participants in the Main Naval Parade that occurred throughout the last week in July 2017 in Saint Petersburg.

When I purchased this it was the latest MOD Medal to be created but in the last quarter of 2017 two additional Medals were created ("5 Years Of Military Service" and "Participant In Peacekeeping Operations")

Original, authentic examples of this Medal are particularly difficult to find as there are a vast example of copies (missing the mintmark) and fakes (crude copies with a very crude mintmark) out there. Of the dozens and dozens of inauthentic examples I've seen, this is the only real one. Beware!
