Type 3 R3
20 years Irreproachable Service in the Ministry of Protection of Public Order (MOOP) Azerbaijan

Instituted only on 8.8.1962, silver plated with red enamel star in very nice condition. Undocumented but in excellent condition. Quite rare even when more individuals received an award already after 15 and 20 years of service (more common to decorated when individuals had time to prove themselves or were closer to retirement).  MOOP medals are incommon because the then 13 Republican Ministries of Protection of Public Order existed only for four years until 1966 (re-named as Ministries of Interior again).
