Medal "For Guarding The Country".
Now, one of the most difficult to obtain Romanian medals, the "Defense of the Country" Medal (Medalia "De strajã Patriei")- an Internal Ministry award given, primarily, for guarding the borders. First given in 1958, this particular example is the post-1965 variant (RSR). It is damaged- the mounting ring broke from the star. I do have a jeweler friend who, I'm sure, can repair it.
A detail of the front... the first variant read "Republica Populara Romina". And a back detail- photographed in shadow to enhance the type.
