Badges from the Moscow Mint

Badges from the Moscow Mint: 9 records in the reference. By subject: excellence and shock-work badges — 4, schools and universities — 3, deputies, congresses and the communist party — 2, aviation and space — 2, law enforcement — 2. By metal: silver — 9, gold — 2. By finish: enamel — 7. By fastening: screw back — 7, pin — 2. Reference prices run from 900 to 70 800 roubles. Every entry carries photographs, metal, finish, fastening, dimensions and prices for each grade of preservation. The maker struck a mark or its full name on the reverse — this dates a badge and separates an original from a later restrike. The Leningrad, Moscow and Petrograd Mints worked in different years, so the name of the mint alone narrows the dating.
