Salve signori, volevo sapere qualche informazione e magari vedere qualche bella foto della Medaglia per il 3 ° anniversario della Rivoluzione d'Ottobre.

Hello gentlemen, I wanted to know some information, and maybe see some nice pictures of the medal for the third anniversary of the October Revolution.

I know only this: The meaning of this medal is very controversial. It never became part of the Soviet
Award regulation evolved over following years. However, it is it is believed to have been
awarded to participant and organizers of the Petrograd Soviet dedicated to the third
anniversary of the Revolution.

dedicated to the third anniversary of the Revolution.

They call it "first soviet medal"
Incorrectly of course.
This is a jetton.
Made by Leningrad Mint.
Awarding took place in Leningrad.
During celebration of 3rd anniversary of revolution.
In the Lensoviet (Leningrad City Council).
They say 3000 jettons in silver (for participants) and 400 bronze (for organizers) were issued.

Is this heavily falsified? I saw one on sale some months ago on the know auction site, together with the copy of a hammer and plough civil war cockade.
The fact that this latter one was (clearly) a fake did not lead me to think the medal was original..
