Medal "For Excellent Labour During Danger".

Unfortunately, the true identity of this medal is elusive. It has wound up being called the "Khalq Medal" because of the proiminent "Khalq" (= "Masses") on the obverse. Compare this with the first variety of the Order of the Saur Revolution.

I have never been able to get a better identification. Help?

The Khalq was a faction of the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan. The other faction was Parcham (= "Flag"). From April 1978 until December 1979 (the Soviet arrival in country) they dominated the government.
