    picked this piece up last week here in Transylvania. :jumping:

    I know next to nothing about it, but by looking at the 1944-64

    dates I presume a commemorative piece.

    Hello Kevin!

    It's the medal commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Slovak National Uprising. On August 29th 1944 different factions rose against the Germans, the fighting continued for around two months, thereafter the uprising transformed into guerrilla warfare until the liberation.

    Hi,

    the original name is Pamětní medaile k 20. výročí Slovenského národního povstání , in English Commemorative Medal for the 20th anniversary of the Slovak National Uprising. The medal was established by law No. 112/1964 dated June 17th, 1964. It is struck from bronze, quite common, non expensive, no fakes existing :). More details here:
