Original Item – Only One Available. This Russian SVR Foreign Intelligence Service 100th Anniversary medal is an official commemorative award issued to mark a century of Russian foreign intelligence, tracing its institutional lineage from the early INO period to the modern SVR. Such medals were awarded selectively to serving officers, veterans, and associated personnel in recognition of service, continuity, and contribution to the intelligence service. Complete examples accompanied by the original award document and presentation case are significantly scarcer than standalone medals.

The medal was produced by the Moscow Mint and displays high-quality official manufacture consistent with state and service-level awards. It is suspended from the correct blue ribbon with red and white stripes, and the medal itself features sharp relief, precise detailing, and a professional finish typical of Moscow Mint production. The reverse bears the traditional motto emphasizing duty, valor, and honor, while the accompanying award document confirms official issuance and provides direct provenance, greatly enhancing collector confidence and historical value.

SVR anniversary medals with full documentation occupy a strong position in modern Russian intelligence collecting, especially given the sensitivity of the issuing organization and the limited number of complete surviving sets. This example, preserved with its original case and document, represents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully intact and verifiable SVR award set tied to one of the most significant milestones in Russian intelligence history. An outstanding addition to any advanced collection focused on modern intelligence services, commemorative awards, or documented official decorations.
