Hungary, Order of the Red Star, Type 2, circa late 1950s -1960s.
Brass, enamels. The medallion is of riveted three-piece construction; measures 49.0 mm in height (incl. eyelet), 46.0 mm in width; weighs 21.3 g not including the suspension and connecting link. Features the state emblem of 1957 type. Excellent condition.
This award first appeared just as the 1949-1953 Order of Merit was being phased out. As is typical of Hungarian awards initiated before the 1956 Revolution that continued to be awarded later, it can be found with different coats of arms in the center. This example bears the 1957 national coat of arms. Only 1574 pieces of this version were bestowed.
