  10th Anniversary of the Ministry of Interior Regiment no 1001

The medal, issued by the Ministry of Interior, is quite intricate for a Moldovan award as it is constructed from several pieces. It is nevertheless made of a light alloy on a rectangular suspension with the Moldovan tricolors (like Romanian). All colouring is cold enamel.  The "1992-2002" recalls the 10th Anniversary a Ministry of Interior Unit no. 1001. Like other Moldovan awards it is reputedly made in Romania although recently State orders are being made in Moscow in the Monetnij Dvor.  I am trying to find out how many people received this medal and for what.
