Order of Honor. Award # 1521691.
This Order superseded the existing Order of the Badge of Honor on December 28, 1988. It was awarded for extraordinary accomplishments in the fields of scientific research, production, governmental, cultural, athletic and other pursuits, and for showing civilian courage. It was awarded to citizens of the USSR, enterprises, establishments, organizations, regions, cities, and other populations. It could also be awarded to foreigners, foreign establishments, and foreign organizations.
The only feature that changed was the removal of the words "Badge of Honor" which were replaced with a hammer and sickle, and oak leaves on either side. This piece was made separately and was attached with two rivets. The serial numbers range from roughly 1463000 to 1574000.
The obverse Russian inscription translates to: "Workers of the World, Unite!" and "Badge of Honour". The obverse also features the Russian letters for the USSR.
