Silver content

What was the silver content used in the manufacture of Soviet orders and awards ??? I know the DDR had 900 Silver of some of the badges and orders and I wondered what the Soviets used. Also are they still using precious metals in the production of current awards and old Soviet copies ???

At least, what's stated sometimes in the Literature.
