Not any different from a Chinese counterfeiter ring.
I wonder if it's for accounting purposes. Imagine if they were struck with no denomination. Until they are sold, these medals / tokens can only...
It looks too brilliant white for silver. Looks more of the modern counterfeit production.
The era of attempting to circulate precious metal coin should be thrown out of the window. There is a good reason why the Chinese used to...
Nice set. Seems like you wanted to assemble a set that's dated 1939? It's a bit tougher than one would think. Early 1930s to mid 1940s Soviet...
