Description

Original Item – Only One Available. This official Russian medal was issued to commemorate the 90th Anniversary of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), tracing its heritage from the INO of the Cheka in 1920 to the present-day SVR. The medal features the double-headed eagle with sword and shield emblem of the SVR, struck in gilt metal and suspended from a multi-colored ribbon symbolizing service and loyalty. Accompanied by its original red certificate booklet, this set confirms its authenticity as an awarded decoration.

Struck by the prestigious Saint Petersburg Mint, this piece bears the mint’s hallmark and reflects the high-quality craftsmanship of modern Russian state awards. The inclusion of the matching document, complete with official signatures and stamps, further enhances its historical and collectible value, offering clear provenance for serious collectors.

As one of the most significant modern-era intelligence service awards, the SVR 90th Anniversary Medal holds great appeal among collectors of Russian and Cold War intelligence memorabilia. Complete awarded sets with documents are increasingly scarce, making this an exceptional opportunity to acquire an original issue tied directly to the legacy of Russia’s foreign intelligence apparatus.
