Badge for Large Harvest of Corn, VLKSM Central Committee award, 1959-1964.
Brass gilt, paint. Reverse shows raised mint mark "LMD" (Leningrad Mint). Established in 1959 and awarded until mid 1960s. The time frame coincides with the reign of Khruschev who was obsessed with corn - believing it to be a magic remedy for the Soviet Union's chronic agricultural shortfalls.
Excellent condition.
