State prizes of Soviet Republics

***Tal Inbar*** · 09-04-2002, 06:06 AM

I found the picture in an old catalog of awards for sale. Do you know more than the name? When it was awarded? How many? For what?

Is the award "state prize of the USSR" replaced it?

Reverse:

Tal,

It's a Russian Federation State prize medal from the Soviet period, but I haven't seen one before. Interesting! Hope someone knows more about it.

I've been offered the following medal as a 'Latvian State Prize' medal. Has anyone seen one of these before?

Kind Regards,
Shane Cook.

The reverse

Shane,

I don't know this one, but it looks like a 15 (OK, maybe 20) Kopeck znaki.

If it is original, i find it strande that there is no cloth ribbon, and Serial Number.

I wonder if it's gold?!?

Hello,

This one looks like it is honored something in Latvian. Does anyone have any ideas. This one is also not serial numbered. The ones from Tadjik SSR listed and the one I have from Estonian SSR are serial numbered. Should these honored XXXX of a republic be serial numbered?

Thanks,
Keith

And the back of the Latvian one.....

Keith I believe it is genuine.

I don't know enough latvian to translate but having lived near Riga for a year it is definitely Latvian Language.

Who the hell would want to fake this.

My opinion.

Cheers ...

Chris...
