Hjemmet's Spirit Medal.
Here is the Hjemmet's Spirit Medal (Hjemmet's Humør Medalje). This was an award of the Danish publication "Hjemmet" ("The Home") which was/is something along the lines of a Danish version of Life or the Picture Post that has slowly evolved into a rather glossy Woman's magazine. Not quite on par with a Danish Time Man Of The Year but also not a worthless token that everyone received after submitting 6 cornflake boxtops. Although not an award of a Socialist "party" it was certainly awarded to one in this case.
The Medal is made of Sterling silver and depicts a smiling sun (referring to the characteristics of those awards with it) and rather fortunately was named and dated. This example comes on a female ribbon with the standard red/white design most Danish awards have. I have not yet seen an example awarded to a male so I don't know if they were suspended by the usual Danish style male ribbon (the 5 sided style the Russians borrowed). Awarded to Helyett Simonsen in 1963. Also a cover of a 1963 issue "Hjemmet". I don't know which issue covered the awarding of the Medal but I am working on it. Danish Medals are fairly rare and generally unattributable so finding this attributable one, although not a state award is a rather pleasant change. I also have a bit of an affinity with Denmark, having married there.
