Bulgaria, Order of Labor, 1st class (gold), Type 2, circa 1970s-80s.
In gilded brass, measures 43.4 mm height incl. eyelet x 39.6 mm in width. A late version featuring rays of the starburst extending beyond the pentagon border. Nicely sculpted massive medallion. The reverse has a stamped inscription "Order of Labor in Gold, NRB (People's Republic of Bulgaria)".
Excellent condition. Shows practically no wear visible to the naked eye. The raised artwork and starburst are perfect and crisp. Includes original suspension of the relatively early Soviet style (as opposed to the smaller later model) and a well-preserved old ribbon.
