Established in November 1986, the Science and Technology Prize was the last and shortest-lived among the RSFSR state prizes. As a result, very
few of these were bestowed before the collapse of the USSR in 1991. The exact number of issues of the medal is currently unknown but it is
likely to be in the dozens and almost certainly no more than a couple of hundred (as is often the case with Soviet decorations, the serial
number may be well above the total number of medals ever awarded.) An exceptionally rare and interesting award.
