Medal for Reconstruction of the Coal Mines of Donbass, late
1940s - early 50s.
In brass; 32.23 mm wide. In outstanding, excellent condition -
one the best specimens of this medal we have seen in years.
The raised details are perfect and exceptionally crisp; there
is no noticeable wear or dings to either side of the
medallion. The fire gilt finish is likewise exceptionally
well-preserved and bright on both sides. There are only a
couple of tiny spots, not detractive - otherwise essentially a
mint example.
Comes on original brass suspension with very attractive old
ribbon showing only modest wear along the edges, no tears or
significant soiling. All-in-all, a superb piece, practically
impossible to upgrade!
