[QUOTE="pjstack, post: 787702, member: 15872"]Thank you Drusus and JeromeLS. Yes, the devices are the same as on the Olympic medals, but mine doesn't seem to have the same high relief as the Olympic medals. Also, the "21 K" on my "medal" is raised, whereas there is no such marking on the Olympic medals. I'm also puzzled by the legend, "BRASSERIE DE CUAUHTEMOC". I [I]think[/I] "Brasserie" is sort of the equivalent of "restaurant" and Cuauhtemoc was the last king of the Aztecs! (A Paresian Mexican restaurant in 1900? The mind boggles!) I am not too sure this thing is gold, but I don't know how to check it. (It's not magnetic, anyway.) Any further info is still welcome.[/QUOTE]
