Description
This is the "Mother Heroine" Medal established by the Soviet Union in 1944 for mothers of ten or more children, and was the highest-ranking of the six medals authorized for mothers of large families.  Among our other auctions you'll find the 1st and 2nd Class Motherhood Medals in  gilt and silver. The Mother Heroine Medal is of silver enhanced with gold plate and enamel, and bears the making mint mark on the back as well as the issue number...this has not been erased, but is only partially legible at the very bottom of the pendant.  Reference:  see the article on Soviet Orders and Medals of WWII by David Burrows in the July 2021 issue of "Military Trader".
Note:  this item cannot be sold into the Russian Federation.  If you are outside the USA and NOT located in Russia, air post to your location will be US.00.
