Table Medal "XV Winter Olympic Games Calgary 1988".

[Lapa]

Are they rare? How many were produced? To whom were they given?

Andreas,

You have different types of medals here, so I'll just address the Olympic ones:
. Soviet Union Olympic Committee: standard issue and game-specific issue. These are usually used as presents by the delegation officials for whatever purpose they may have.
. Soviet Union Olympic Team: these were given one to each actual participant of the Soviet Olympic team to the specific games. They are scarce, minted in the few hundreds.
