Bulgaria. Medal for Distinction in the Construction Troops
The Medal for Distinction in the Construction Troops (Медал „За отличие в строителните войски“) was instituted on 28 May 1974 by the People’s Republic of Bulgaria. It was awarded to Construction Troops personnel who distinguished themselves in service, particularly through achievements in personnel training and preparation and contributions to the unit’s construction activities.
The obverse depicts a lion within a five-pointed star with radiating rays, surrounded by the inscription „ЗА ОТЛИЧИЕ В СТРОИТЕЛНИТЕ ВОЙСКИ“ (“For Distinction in the Construction Troops”) and the initials НРБ, referring to the People’s Republic of Bulgaria. The reverse bears the inscription „СТРОИТЕЛНИ ВОЙСКИ НА НРБ“ (“Construction Troops of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria”), together with a five-pointed star, a laurel wreath and the hammer-and-sickle emblem. The medal was produced at the Sofia Mint and is mounted on a light blue ribbon with a central white stripe.
