The medal was instituted on December, 13, 1950 originally in two Classes. The first Class was awarded for the birth and education of four, and the second - three children. These are pictured in the above two posts.
In 1966 the design of medal was changed and was awarded in one Class only for the birth and education of three children. The medal was minted at the Bulgarian State mint. Here is the Type 2 Medal. ( pic CO YY)

Re: Medal "For Motherhood" 1st Class.
A documented single-class ribboned award from 1975.
Questions: 1- Her name? 2- Chronology of the types of this medal? (Two classes ribboned, single class ribboned, single class suspension; change in coat of arms?) |

Re: Medal "For Motherhood" 1st Class.
At the time (1975) this was the lowest award for maternity. The award document will have been issued with a book of "coupons" for subsidised transport etc.. No doubt used by the mother whilst ferrying her children around.
