re: Work in progress - do not post here!
The medal was instituted on February 15, 2001. The six-line inscription on the reverse says: <THE EARTH'S FIRST COSMONAUT YURI ALEXEYEVICH GAGARIN> is in the center with a five-pointed star above it. The inscription: <COSMONAUTICS FEDERATION OF RUSSIA> runs along the upper periphery. The dates <1934-1968> are inscribed along the lower periphery. The ribbon plate has a two-line inscription: <40th ANNIVERSARY OF THE FLIGHT>. Minted at the Moscow Mint. Quantity: 1,000 medals. This medal is in SPACE EXPLORATION AWARDS, Volume I. Sold for $33.96 + S/H. A great addition to my collection!
