Hmmm
I wonder what is this piece...
No number
No inscription "for distinction in service".
Most likely some truffatore decided to silver jubilee variation

Please note, that original number always has six digits!!!
Even medal № 1 has number 000001 on reverse.
This is very important because curently there are many unissued and therefore unnumbered medals on the market.
Like this one

Come on!
Take a good look at him with his picture "Savior on the throne"
Most likely he was playing "mix and match" with photos from different time periods.

It think he should stick to the day job, religious iconography.

Damn right!
He also supplied his bas-relief for this "creature"

Funniest thing is that his "art" contains factual mistake.
Zhukov is wearing single-breasted uniform with a high collar with four stars of the Hero of the Soviet Union.
But this type of uniform was cancelled in April 1945, and the third and fourth stars Zhukov got on June 1, 1945 and December 1, 1956.
Nice job Valery!

Zhukov looks jolly cheerful on the medal ...
Author of this creative bas-relief was this dude

Nothing more ...
So most likely formal approach was used.
