A fairly light, late period award.

As far as I am aware, this is the earliest and lowest-serial numbered awarding of the medal that we have observed.


Cheers,

(Unrukh, pp. 168-76)

It is one of those medals where knowing the stories behind them would be absolutely fascinating.

Strangely, for a socialist, athiest, and in any case non-Christian State, the first type of this medal had an obverse dominated by a red cross on a blue background.

Urnukh's research has revealed the initial order (1-500) of these medals in 1959. In 1964, an additional 100 medals were ordreed from Moscow (501-600). Within these orders, however, there seems to have been considerable manufacturing and design variability. Urnukh has records of observed Type 1 serial numbers from 5 to 517, but these aren't broken down by variety (and his typology doesn't match mine). Tentatively:

Type 1.1 -- Cross design on the obverse, painted, stamped serial number (observed serial number range 10-76 -- #76 shown below) -- this is Urnukh's Type 1.2.

Type 1.2 -- Cross design, enameled, leaves enameled green, stamped serial number (only one specimen observed, 13) -- this is Urnukh's Type 1.4.

Type 1.3 -- Cross design, enameled, stamped serial number (observed serial number range 249-381) -- this is Urnukh's Type 1.1.

Type 1.4 -- Cross design, enameled, hand-engraved serial number (I have no reports of this one, but I would guess it might be the 501-600 batch?) -- This is Urnukh's Type 1.3.
