Jubilee Medal "XXX Years Of The Soviet Army And Navy".

Hello,

in the most cases I saw a round ring with 30th anniversary of soviet army and navy medals.
Is a U-shaped ring at the 30th anniversary medal a rare variant?

regards and thanks
Andreas

I personnally have never seen such (myself or on the web) and I find it a little suspicious. But considering that I am just a novice, I cannot provide an authoritative answer. Sorry.

I just looked at about 10 of mine

They were all round but most had a machined, rough surface on the front of the ring like this one.
I would wonder why someone would fake something issued in the millions but the answer, of course, is because they can.
