Danijel New Member Bosnia And Herzegovina 2 Posts	Posted 05/01/2016 04:44 am I've found this coin. On one side is Mao Tse Tung. On the other side is hammer and a sickle. It looks like a gold but at jewelry store they said it's not a real gold. However I couldn't find the same coin as mine on the internet so any explanation would be helpful.

Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 05/01/2016 07:16 am Welcome to CCF! Yours is a medal not a coin. It looks like this medal was issued in bronze in addition to the solid silver and silver plated ones. All versions can be found for sale occasionally (there are several silver and silver plated ones up for bid on ebay right now). It should be 35 mm in diameter. At least some were made in France I think.

Danijel New Member Bosnia And Herzegovina 2 Posts	Posted 05/01/2016 08:25 am Thank you for reply Do you think that this medal has bigger value than silver ones? Edited by Danijel 05/01/2016 08:26 am Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 05/01/2016 10:04 am Based on a very brief perusal of what people are charging for the various medal metals, I'd say the solid silver has a premium over the two base metal versions. I'd say that the bulk of the value for these medals is intrinsic from the metal content.
