Medal (Badge) in Commemoration of the 70th Anniversary of the Lifting of the Blockade of Leningrad, 2014.
In brass. The medallion is 32.2 mm wide. The obverse shows a view of the St. Petersbuirg's (Leningrad's) famous Rostral Columns with the fireworks above. On the reverse is an inscription "In Honor of the 70th Anniversary of the Full Relief of Leningrad from the Fascist Blockade". An interesting feature of this medal is an oval escutcheon on the reverse with a "holographic" image of the date 2014.
The suspension is in brass, of riveted construction with a high-quality pin attachment. The ribbon is similar to that on the Medal for the Defense of Leningrad. Albeit a post-Soviet issue, this badge is very much in style of similar Soviet-era veteran badges - and far better made than most of those.
Excellent condition. This commemorative award can be a nice addition to the collection that already includes a WW2 Medal for the Defense of Leningrad.
