of Honor |  |
 Instituted
in 1935 with some 1,5 milllion awards issued altogether (many
variations due to mass production in several mints). Early versions
were screw-backs
issued until 1943. Some 130.000 of these "flatback"
reverse versions with three rivets were later superceded by
the "concave
reverse" in 1950. This specimen is in very good shape
with low number but with no document and is from Azerbaijan.
