The medallion is in brass, measures 37.3 mm in height incl. eyelet, 32.3 mm wide. Features a rounded eyelet with a flat profile struck as a single piece with the rest of the medallion.

Excellent condition. There is only a very minimal wear to the raised points of the bas-relief portrait; its details remain extremely well-preserved and crisp. The medal is otherwise completely free of wear visible to the naked eye and has only a couple of microscopic contact marks that are not easy to find even under a 10x magnification. There is an attractive light patina throughout but no significant blemishes or oxidation spots; a good amount of the original "gilt" mint luster is visible in recessed areas on both sides.

The medal comes on an original brass suspension device with a recent, lightly used ribbon. Overall, a very nice example of the Soviet WW2 victory medal.
