First time that I see this. Please help in MORE information. This is the description:

"Soviet medal "To the fighter for the peace" awarded to Polar explorer, President of Soviet Geographic Society, USSR Hero academician A. Treshnikov in 1970. Brass medal"

Interesting: recipient name is written in GOLD ink:

[Nota Bene]

Tal,

This is the so called International Peace Medal, awarded by the Soviet Piece Commitee. I believe it's from 1960s. Made of gold-plated brass. I will try to find some more information about it.

Well, the peace medal mentioned in the beginning of this thread was sold at ebay for the first time for about $95.00 (including the document).

Now it is on sale again, by the new owner, at a start price of "just" $199.00:(

Very strange - this medal and document had Disappeared from ebay without any explanation.
