Excellent condition. The details are very nicely preserved and crisp; the silver finish shows only a very minimal wear at the high points of the artwork. The eyelet is slightly bent but remains sound. The bow is of the period, apparently original to the medal; it is overall well- preserved, showing only a minor amount of soiling and wear.

Established in 1950, initially in three classes, the Bulgarian Order of Maternal Glory was awarded pretty much along the same lines as its Soviet counterpart. The third class in particular was bestowed to mothers for giving birth and raising at least four children. Only the earliest issues of the Type 1 were serial-numbered. The number of classes was later reduced to two and the design of the suspension changed to the one resembling that of the Soviet Order of Maternal Glory.
