Here is some more info on this, taken from the Herfurth book, assuming I've read the German correctly:
The Lenin prize medal was awarded in only one class. Made from Gold.
The Stalin prize medal was awarded in three classes from 1940-1952. The first class is gold.
The State prize medals were awarded in three classes, the first class again in gold. The original first class was later replaced by the other design, again from gold.
There also exists the Stalin and Lenin Peace medals, of which there is only one class, again, both from gold.
I hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Shane Cook.
