Order "Georgi Dimitrov".

[new world]

Dietrich,

Thanks a lot for the variations of the Dimitrov!

I came across this variation that really does not match any of the ones that you posted - the hole is on the bottom of the reverse.

What do you think of it?

The holes are there for a reason.

Earlier rare emissions were made out of solid gold (weight 66 grams), while later emissions orders were hollow (33 grams weight).

That's right - the awards were empty inside and holes were used in the process of soldering two pieces together.

Best regards,

William
