Mt Kumgang Power Plant Construction Commemoration Medal, circa late 1990s.
Gilded aluminum, 40.4 mm wide. Shows rifle and hammer, with hydroelectric dam on the background.
In very fine to excellent condition. Shows only very minor wear to gold finish on the raised points; the details are perfect. Comes on original suspension with well-preserved old ribbon.
The medal was awarded primarily to the builders of the Kumgang (Kum Gang) Hydroelectric Dam and power station. Apparently, a rather limited number of people took part in this construction project (or survived it), so relatively few medals were ever issued.
