Definately normal size.

Mini death plaques are unofficial and can be bought rather than issued and therefore have little or no value to a collector.

It does - I didn't comment because I was waiting for a photo of the mini-plaque.
I don't know if smaller exact copies of the plaques were available commercially decades ago but they are nowadays, albeit the name tablet being blank.

The medals don't appear to be miniatures?
