gxseries Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Ok, I am definately a terrible leftist , but putting that aside, and I know it's too wrong, but pretty. If that was a coin, it would have blown most people's perception of boring Communist designs. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was a coin, it would have blown most people's perception of boring Communist designs. Link It's very pretty, indeed ... most of all, I always admire the stunning coin photography on the "Monety i Medali" website. I think it's some of the best I've ever seen. Trouble with the design is, this was only two years after the 1917 revolution. Of course it was fantastic -- in its day! The trouble is, all over Russia and Eastern Europe, that it never changed for the next seventy years!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdrv Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 At first I thougth: what's so special about this medal, I've seen these two bearded guys too many times. Then I noticed the date. It's a great piece of history, although I would not call it pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted March 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Ironically, the first thing when I saw it just reminded me of this coin: http://www.cbr.ru/eng/bank-notes_coins/Bas...t_num=5111-0088 I mean, look at the man in the middle, machineries in the left or right and the something else important, and tada! How similar could they be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tane Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 This would fit my collection quite well. But I wouldn't pay that much for a commie medal.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henare Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 the worker on the back is kinda emaciated ... with his arms up like that it almost evokes the image of a crucifixion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
