    Russian Empire, Nicholas I Medal for Zeal, high-quality REPRODUCTION.
    Made in SOLID SILVER (just like the originals), measures 28.9 mm wide; weighs 14.5 grams. This replica is of SUPERB QUALITY! It has very well-executed details and correct aged appearance with convincing looking "wear" and patina. Moreover, there are two silver purity hallmarks “0.800” on the rim – obviously put there to convince the buyer that the medal is indeed antique (hallmarks were sometimes put on medals made of precious metals when they passed through customs in foreign countries).
    Of course, the medal differs from the original in many small details, but it can easily fool even an experienced collector who is not very careful. High-quality fakes like this one are often sold as originals. This particular medal was acquired by an American collector in Moscow in the early 90s, so it is now at least 30 years old! This just goes to show that age or patina alone do not guarantee in any way that the medal is real!
