This Leningrad Mint sub-variation manufactured in 1957 is among the earliest of the Type 6 issues, featuring distinctive hammer and sickle emblem: the handle of the hammer goes over the sickle (in the same manner as on Type 5 and the earlier types).

Silver gilt, enamels; 47.9 mm tall (incl. eyelet) x 36.9 mm wide; weighs 36.2 g not including the suspension and connecting link. Riveted three-piece construction. This Leningrad Mint sub-variation manufactured in 1957 is among the earliest of the Type 6 issues, featuring distinctive hammer and sickle emblem: the handle of the hammer goes over the sickle (in the same manner as on Type 5 and the earlier types). Vast majority of the Type 6 have the later style emblem, with the handle of the hammer under the sickle.

In outstanding, excellent condition. The enamel is essentially perfect having only a few microscopic contact marks that are not easy to find even under a 10x magnification and completely invisible to the naked eye. The gilt finish is nicely preserved although partly obscured by attractive silver patina. Comes on original suspension device, a two-layer model in steel with an integral catch of the pin. The old, probably original ribbon is sound, clean and very presentable. The silver connecting link appears to be original, and its ends are still joined with solder in the seamless manner characteristic of the Soviet mint.
