Prize Medals Of The All-Union Agricultural Exhibition.
Some of the OLD members remember my question about the contribution to economy medals. Now, when the forum is slightly bigger than 7 members;) I will start a new and expanded thread.
Those medals were awarded to participants of the All-Union National Economy Achievements Exhibition, for specific contribution to the economy. I would like to know about the BDHX (or VDNKh) medals. What is the NAME of each medal, dates of issue for variations, etc. The Variations are my division. Lets start with GOLD medal from 1939: I will call it Large gold medal - Type 1 Note the S/N:

with serial Number
Tal
This is the back of a type 4 (your description) with serial Number. I have a number of these they are attractive medals. I was unsure of them and brought them for their artistic merit. Thank you for the information on them Chris |

Well I went back to the antiques shop today and had another look.
Wow they are different when viewed close up. (no wonder the prices was not the usual couple of dollars.) I always like the design of this medal but there is little information on them and seem to be largely forgotten. To find two fantastic minters is great, in gold is even better! If I use your scale Tal the large one is a Type 2 with S/N. The small one is a Type 3 but in Gold with S/N. They also have mint marker tags on them which I have not seen before. Some sort of lion ? on one side and 375 on the other. Cheers Chris |

Very nice. I don't think the medals are made of gold, judging from the scans. Regarding the "Lion' = never saw this! Are you SURE it was not placed by the seller?
Let's hear others... Tal

Just a guess, but I would tend to think that this little tag might be an official seal that indicates/certifies the gold contents of the medal.
