In brass; 29.3 mm wide. The inscription is in two languages, Russian and Tajik. The eyelet has stamped mint mark "LMD" (Leningrad Mint.) There is a provision for the serial number on the reverse, but it was left blank as is usually the case. The colors of the ribbon represent the flag of Tajikistan while it was a part of the USSR.

In very fine to excellent overall condition. The medallion is almost perfectly preserved with pristine details and bright gilt finish, shows only very modest amount of wear at the edges and raised points on the reverse. The pin of the suspension device has been replaced with a regular safety pin. The ribbon is old but well-preserved.
