The wrong reverse Belgrades are exactly the same thing as with the Kiev medal. That is production of 1993.

On the positive side, you have a fake with interesting history :)

Hm,

due to the lack of proof for the one or the other side, I will handle all of these "mules" as fakes and won`t buy them for my collection at last.

That`s the only way to be and stay on the sure side, I think...

Thanks to you all for your assistance and opinions.

I wouldn't call them “a fakes”!

Marc would you help me to translate the numismatic term "новодел"? I can’t find more preferable word combination than “modern replica”. The difference is that “modern replicas” have been made just once, at the mint, with use of original dies. But “fakes” make all who feel like and do them everywhere and all the time.

But of course they’re not awards.

Drill,

I think that you found an excellent term: Modern Replica :thumbsup

For your consideration, a Capture of Berlin medal. I am posting for a collector colleague and would welcome your best thoughts. Hope these photographs are sufficient. Thank you!
