Motherhood Medal, 1st class, Variation 2, Sub-Variation with the mint mark "MMD" on the suspension device, circa 1960s-70s issue.
The medallion is in solid silver, measures 34.2 mm in height incl. eyelet, 29.3 mm wide; weighs 17..3 g without suspension and connecting link; overall weight with suspension is 23.2 g. The suspension device is in gilded brass and enamels. The medallion features a flat eyelet. The suspension is of the late style, with a narrow rectangular base of the pin. Unlike the vast majority of the motherhood medals, the suspension has the raised mint mark "MMD" of the Moscow Mint on the reverse just above its eyelet. This is a very scarce version of the otherwise common motherhood medal!

In very fine to excellent condition. The obverse of the silver medallion shows practically no wear visible to the naked eye; its details are
perfect and crisp. The reverse has a few tiny dings and scuffs, otherwise perfect. The enamel on the suspension has a few scratches that are
not too detractive and a few miniscule surface flakes along the edges that are barely noticeable without a loupe. The gilt finish on the
suspension is nice and bright. Overall, an attractive example.
