Well, who ISSUED it?

Cannot read the issuing authority with stamp at bottom of the second page.

It was issued in by the Minsk avtomobilne zavod? Does that make sense

[Guest Rick Research]

Yup! I wondered about the logo on bottom left.

So this was a workplace present-- and wouldn't this be great in a group where we have absolutely NO clue what veterans were doing from their official jubilee medal paperwork.

Very nice-- never seen one like it before!

Neat document! I don't think it has anything to do with the medal itself, but is more of a document that was made for the veterans working in the factory in 1975. I have seen a few items like this, but none exactly like this one, as they were all made up according to the specifications of the individual organization. One of my favorites was for a nuclear submarine construction facility which made a photoalbum for all of it's veteran employees with photos of each employee (together with their workgroup) that had served in the GPW. Fascinating!
