Best Answer

The mark "V-21-N" on the back of a medal is the hallmark (official mark of guaranteed metal content, required by Federal Regulations) of Vanguard Industries, one of many contractors who manufacture and supply medals, insignias, ribbons, etc., to the military.

The 3 digit code means it's current production (post 1964-65). Prior to that, they were marked V-21.

Medals or insignia with precious metals are indicated as such; Sterling silver, 10k Gold filled, etc. If it isn't marked as such, then it isn't gold.

What is the total value of a gold metal?

if you mean Medal, like Olympic Gold Medal that is not pure gold (usually an overlay) and it's value is hard to quantify - to the Olympian is most likely is priceless... actual amount of gold in a Medal is 6 grams - about $200 and the remainder is silver - about another $100... then the minting of course - which is hard to account for on an individual medal basis.. but it must be about 20% of the metal. i think the 2010 medals have jade in them but it can't be too much... so maybe the whole thing costs $450.... and you can buy one on eBay for $50,000
