Type 4 R3
 10 years Irreproachable Service in the MOOP Uzbekistan

Instituted only on 8.8.1962.  Undocumented but in excellent condition and quite rare.  Apparently very few individuals ever received an award already after 10 years of service (it was much more common to be decorated after 15 or 20 years when individuals proved themselves sufficiently or were close to retirement).  MOOP medals are also 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).
