    The table medal

    Your table medal is actually Dutch and is called ‘Lotsverbondenheids penning’ in Dutch language: it was awarded to all Dutch NSB members who had been imprisoned during the German occupation in May 1940. These are fairly common....

    I hope this helps...
    Best regards

          Yes, these are unfortunately also faked and my guess is that this one isn't good.
          The details are much too soft.
          You could check for a circle pattern around the coin side, I think that is something that isn't present on copies.

            This is a very poor fake, these are heavily reproduced. If you see the original its easy to spot why this one is a fake. It should not fool aybody.

                There is an original for sale at Willem Duijst's site:

                http://www.tarnmilitaria.com/?product=20602

                The 'normal' price (without box) in The Netherlands is about $100.
                This one is in it's original presentation box, which indeed doubles the price.
                You can compare it with yours on the pics.
                Check the olive bronze colour and the sharpness of the details.

                You can find these coins also in shiny gold.
                That happens when someone took the foolish decision to polish the coin.
                The beautiful olive colour can come off, leaving the metal gold and shiny.

                Best regards,
                Martin
