Jubilee Medal "60 Years Of The Armed Forces Of The U.S.S.R.".

Here is an unissued Minsk stamped document.

Does anyone know how many of these medals were made at the Leningrad Mint? I have seen some examples of them with LMD mint marks on them, but this has been certainly the minority.

Cheers,
Will

Hello, Mondvor states the presence of the LMD mintmark on the front side of the loop ring is the majority rule, but the mintmark can be on the side, or ever absent, "sometimes" following the doc.

Thanks! This has just been something I have been puzzled by with jubilee medals.

A 12th May 1978 awarded example to Viktor Nestorovich Shapakidze (Виктор Несторович Шапакидзе) from the Ordzhonikidze Region of Tbilisi. Unfortunately no other information on the recipient is forthcoming.

Here is another example to Captain Vladimir Komissarovich Avanesov from Shaumjan Regional Military Commissar on 23rd February 1978.

A "Komissarovich" from an area named after the leader of the 26th Baku Commissars.

I recently picked up a vast lot of 1965-95 Medal documents for pennies each (5-10 cents) and I will slowly be posting them as time allows. The market is currently so poor that most Jubilee Medal documents aren't worth the postage unless buying in bulk. It's just a shame they are all from split groups. Each one is a piece of a bigger story.
