The medallion is in brass, measures 36.7 mm in height incl. eyelet, 32.1 mm wide; weighs 16.8 g without the suspension and connecting link. Features a rounded eyelet with a flat profile struck as a single piece with the rest of the medallion.

In outstanding, excellent condition. The medallion shows no wear visible to the naked eye and has only a few microscopic contact marks unnoticeable without magnification. The details of the bas-relief portrait are perfect and exceptionally crisp. The original "gilt" mint luster is exceptionally well-preserved and bright with only a tiny amount of light patina on the high points of the bas-relief and a couple of small areas of very mild tarnish elsewhere - all of it not detractive and actually adding character.

The medal comes on an original brass suspension device with a new ribbon (of all Soviet stock). The connecting link appears to be of the period. Overall, a beautiful example of the Soviet WW2 victory medal.
