Here is a very small one, diameter 12 mm. On the reverse there is a mark of Leningrad mint.

Though this badge is not as beautiful as most of the others in this thread, I thought it was cool and unusual enough to deserve a post.:) I'm not sure what a 1950s style limousine(?) has to do with agriculture, but there it is...

Hi Phillip,

Nice badge - there are a series of badges of this style. Will see if I can post some.

You have to remember that it started as an agricultural show (1939-1941 All-Union Agricultural Exhibition)., but later the exhibition eventually became a showcase for soviet industrial and technological innovation. From 1954 it was called the Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy. Hence, there were displays of for space technology, automotive industry, and other leading industries.
