The obverse (first picture) has the Palestinian and Syrian flags, and says "The political administration."

The overall ugliness of this thing hurt my eyes, so that I couldn't read the reverse....

Ilja,

I think the reverse notes "The 33rd Anniversary (1970-2003) of the xxxxxxx Movement of 16 of Tishreen" - one of a series of semi-official medalions issued each year as momentos or souvenirs. As Chris notes the desgin is painful - good Syrian Baathist / socialist bling

Regards,

Owain.
