Table medal in Commemoration of the Soviet Peace Fund, 1968.

In bronze, measures 58.6 mm in diameter. The obverse features the emblem of the Soviet Peace Fund in very clear and precise relief. The reverse is blank. Artwork by V.A. Zasukhin and V.M. Kolentsev. Total circulation - 6675. Of note is an unusual modern stylization and positioning of the hammer and sickle emblem at the bottom.

In very fine to excellent condition. The raised details are extremely crisp and free of noticeable wear. Attractive patina is mild and age appropriate. There is a tiny scratch mark on the reverse but it so thin it becomes barely visible only at a certain angle against the light.

The Soviet Peace Fund was one of the international branches of the Communist Party, aiming to undermine western weapon developments and military deployments. The organization funded numerous "peace seeking" movements and protests in the US and Western Europe. In the last decade of its existence, most working Soviet citizens had to make "voluntary" monthly contributions to its coffers.
