Penal Service Medal. - Greg Collins - 06-03-2010
Ok, one more. This Penal Authority Service Medal, Silver grade, is interesting in that it is the last medal of the Hungarian Socialist government. It was established in 1989; a list of recipients was drawn up; the government changed; the new government decided to make the awards for the first, and last, time. Only 45 of the Silver grade were ever awarded.
