Russian Ruble Nikolai I Marriage of Grand Duke Alexander Nikolaevich -Authentic?

7 posts • viewed 160 times

So, I have this coin, and I started to wonder if it is authentic or there's something different about it.

On Numista it says that the edge is Reeded but for this one the edge has lettering on it. This is what it looks like:

Is it authentic? Or is it some type of replica or something? Maybe some of you guys may have some info. Thanks!

Numista is known to have errors, so it's highly possible numista is wrong on this one.

 

I am very surprised to see with an entry in Numista, since it's not a coin, but a medal!

Here is the only place where the edge is corresponding to your coin's edge:

All the other sites are just taking it as described in I don't know where….

 

By the way, the medal seems to be worth a lot if genuine.

The gold version is in Exonumia.

Hi, 

 

looks like its a fake (aliexpress…) Look on the name of MintMaster -→ НГ , the letter H is too strange for me, the last leg of H is curved.

Have you weighted it? Doesn't look like silver, but photos can be tricky sometimes
