In outstanding, excellent condition. The raised details on both sides of the medallion are perfect and exceptionally crisp. The obverse is completely free of any wear visible to the naked eye; on the reverse, there are only a few minuscule contact marks that are barely noticeable. Both sides of the medallion are completely free from dings, significant scratches, edge knocks or any other flaws. There are no blemishes or oxidation spots; the original "gilt" mint luster is clearly visible in recessed areas on both sides. Note the peculiar "tiger stripe" pattern on the obverse which appears occasionally on the early Soviet campaign medals; it is believed to be a manufacturing flaw that occurred when workers of the mint "cut corners" to speed up production - not a result of age and wear.
