Bulgaria. Medal for Labour Distinction
The Medal for Labour Distinction (Медал „За трудово отличие“) was established on 13 December 1950 by the People’s Republic of Bulgaria. It was awarded to workers for achievements and merit in the country’s working and social life, particularly in industry and agriculture. The first documented award was made on 6 April 1951.
The obverse depicts a male and a female worker alongside symbols of agricultural and industrial labour, including a sickle, hammer, wheat ears and a cogwheel. The Bulgarian inscription „ЗА ТРУДОВО ОТЛИЧИЕ“ means “For Labour Distinction.” The reverse depicts a female agricultural worker beside a tractor.
