‘Mirror Reverse’ variation with a strong counter relief. Made of silver and enamels. It measures 39.66 mm in height, 35.98 mm in width and weighs 21.3 grams without its screwplate. The serial number and mint mark are located at the 6 o’clock position of its reverse.
In overall nice, average condition with beautiful toning to the silver. Most details remain visible, though the raised areas, such as the center wreath and torch, show moderate wear. The white enamel is fully intact without repairs, while the red enamel has chipping on two rays of the center star and the upper layer of the top banner. The reverse shows traces of soldering at the top, indicating the awardee once attached a suspension loop. However, the screwpost remains unshortened and unaltered and the order comes with its well-fitted, original screwplate.
