In excellent condition. Mild patina accents the high relief of the artwork. Minimal scuffing to the metal enhances the air of age and authenticity of the medal.

Seelow Heights are often called "scene of the beginning of the end for Berlin and the Reich." The Battle of the Seelow Heights was a decisive, high-casualty Soviet victory that shattered the last major German line of defense before Berlin. The monument was created by Soviet sculptor Lev Korbel and erected in November 1945. The memorial, which includes a cemetery and museum, grew around the monument over the years.
