Also seen a version with an inscription on the reverse.

I, too, thought there was such a thread. Maybe we're all going senile in unison?

The group to Lt.-Col. Mikhail Aleksandrovich Tolkachev (which dwells with me) has two such medals. (I guess I never posted it? Probably because I only have the research in Russian, as yet untranslated.)

Here are his foreign awards, the interior of the Chinese document for one of these medals, and the Russian card that translates the gist of that doicument.

There is much more that is as yet unscanned.

Does someone know how long this friendship medal was issued?

IMO the version on the picture was the last version. Opinion needed. THX!

KDVR,

The last version of the medal had a blank reverse.

Thank you Lapa!

The medal is blank on the backside - so it is the last version.

Do you know from when to when this version was issued? Till 1991?

Thank you!

Probably no later than the late 50's/early 60's when both countries bilateral relationship went south.
