Medal Za Udział w Walkach o Berlin (Medal for participation in battles for Berlin)

[Iron Hussar]

Hi all,

Picked up this little beauty today. It's a common medal, but only handed out to a small selection of the Polish Army, directly involved with the final battles for Berlin in 1945. It's a relatively early issue (first medals started being given out in 1966), and nice to have a document with it. Very solid and chunky.

Really nice looking medal - what is the metal - silver?

Thanks!

It's silver plated and blued, but not sure what the core material is.
