1977 Soviet KGB 60th Anniversary Table Medal with Award Document & Case – Moscow Mint – Awarded to a KGB Colonel

Description

Original Item – Only One Available. This large bronze table medal was issued in 1977 to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the founding of the Soviet state security services, from the Cheka (VChK) through to the KGB. Struck at the prestigious Moscow Mint, the medal features the iconic shield and sword emblem of the KGB alongside a bold laurel wreath design, symbolizing vigilance and strength.

This particular example comes as a complete set, housed in its original fitted presentation case and accompanied by the official award document. The document is dated 20 December 1977, a significant date marking the official founding of the Cheka in 1917, and records the award of this medal to a KGB Colonel-Engineer, making it a highly personalized and historically important piece.

Exceptional in both quality and provenance, this medal stands as a rare surviving relic of the Cold War era. Few were awarded, and even fewer remain intact with their original case and named document. A top-tier acquisition for advanced collectors of intelligence, security service, and Soviet-era decorations.
