Motherhood Medal, 1st class, circa 1970s-1980s issue.
Medallion is in solid silver, measures 29.1 mm wide; weighs 17.0 g without the suspension and connecting link, 23.7 g overall. The suspension device is in gilded brass and enamels. The medal is a late version featuring a rounded eyelet.
In outstanding, excellent condition. The medallion is literally pristine: completely free of any wear visible to the naked eye, having only a couple of microscopic contact marks that are hard to find even with a 10x loupe. The raised details of the artwork and lettering are perfect and extremely crisp. The enamel on the suspension is likewise essentially perfect with the exception of a single microscopic surface flake at the bottom edge, invisible without magnification. The gilt finish on the suspension is bright. Overall, a superb example.
