of Soviet sprots movement in 1957. Excellent condition.

scarce of Soviet table medals, with only 570 ever made. Near mint
condition.

Award Table Medal in bronze to a Winner of the 1985 Contest of Student Science

was bestowed exclusively upon the laureates of the contest and only on one
occasion. Just 300 were ever produced. In excellent condition.
