Although this massive (4 kilogram!) item seems like a plaque, its official name is Honored award badge "Winner of Socialist Competition" for Labor Collectives.
These were awarded to top organizations through the USSR, both labor and military. A few have surfaced recently..
Supposedly about 700 were made both at the Moscow Mint and at the Leningrad Jewelry Workshop. (mine is from the latter). Wife is horrified. ;)
