Silver gilt, enamel; measures 51.4 mm in height (incl. eyelet), 32.7 mm in width; weighs 32.2 g not including the suspension and connecting link. Features a rounded upper part of the letter "P" in the "CCCP" (as opposed to the more elongated "P" of the other sub-variation of the order).

In excellent, near mint condition. The enamel is completely flawless aside from a tiny, nearly unnoticeable flake at the tip of the upper arm of the star, which is a typical factory flaw observed on the majority of the Orders of Honor and late-issue Badges of Honor. The raised artwork is essentially pristine. The gilt finish on the letters and hammer & sickle emblem is perfect and bright.

Comes on an original two-layer suspension device with immaculately clean old ribbon. The connecting link appears to be original; its ends are still joined with solder in a seamless manner characteristic of the Soviet Mint.

The Order of Honor was established in 1988 as a replacement for the Order of Badge of Honor. It was discontinued just three years later with the collapse of the Soviet Union. During its brief existence, only some 10,000 were awarded according to the most up-to-date estimates, a very small number by Soviet standards.
