Comments

The Moscow Mint has created a special medal project that will tell the story of events that have received unfairly little attention. In terms of scale and significance, the Battle of Voronezh is comparable to the Battle of Stalingrad, which is why the medal was named “Voronezh – Second Stalingrad”. Circulation (made of nickel silver): 4000 pieces. There are types made of brass and also silver
