The Watercoloured circle is attached to the main card, with the text being transferred onto that piece.

With it being a 1:1 drawing the Order would have been giant ~5cm/2 inches in diameter.

If there was a "Hero of the Revolution" awarded, it would have been awarded to Abdul Ahad Mohmand. He was the Afghan cosmonaut that went into space in 1988.

I tried to contact him, but the guy doesn't like Americans very much. An Afghan friend of mine made contact with him; living in Stuttgart, Germany. Abdul told him that he was only awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union, but not the "Hero of the Revolution" ... He left his awards behind in Afghanistan so they are long gone .... so ends my search for the "Hero of the Revolution" ... well, it just started again.

Screen shot from a BBC story on Abdul Ahad Mohmand. These are the awards that he was awarded. Could this be the "Hero of the Revolution" ?

Tthis is the Nishan Dauati Alim Sayed Jamal-al-Din Afghani / National Order of the Learned Man Jamal-al-Din Afghani, named after Jamal-al-Din al-Afghani (1838-97) a political activist and Islamic ideologist in the Muslim world during the late 19th century, particularly in the Middle East, South Asia and Europe. He was one of the founders of Islamic modernism and an advocate of pan-Islamic unity. He claimed to be of Afghan origin and while that is factually uncertain, he is embraced by Afghans as a great national hero.
