21st International Dairy Congress in Moscow, participant's medal, 1981.
German silver, enamels; 26.0 mm wide. Shows Leningrad Mint logo to both the obverse and reverse. This is one of the only Soviet medals that have English writing. In excellent, near mint condition.
The congress was held at the time when the Soviet Union was desperately seeking international recognition of any kind, at the time of the Afghan war and soon after the boycott of Moscow Olympics.
