Table Medal "250 Years Of Leningrad Mint". - new world - 04-11-2003
I just bought this lovely 250 years of Leningrad Mint table medal.
Made of bronze. Diameter 2 1/2".
It says on the front:
"Leningrad Mint. Goznak. USSR Ministry of Finances. 1724-1974. 250"
I love all those orders as samples of their products on the reverse of the medal!

One more memorial medal from Leningrad Mint.
Bronze. Diameter 2 1/2".
Front reads:
"Founded in year 1724"
Reverse of the same Mint medal.
Reads:
"Leningrad Mint. Goznak Ministery of Finances of USSR."
I think the Mint was awarded Order of Labor Banner - hence the image of the order.
