For successfully completing his mission on March 6, 1945, near Csököly, aiding Russian troops in a critical situation. He skillfully led his regiment to push the enemy back by several kilometers and repelled multiple enemy attacks on March 7 and 8. He consistently acted as a steadfast leader, earning gratitude from both Russian and Bulgarian high command.
Colonel Botev is one of the only 70(!) foreigners who was awarded the Order of Alexander Nevsky and the only Bulgarian!
Made of solid silver and enamels. It measures 51.49 mm in height, 50.09 mm in width and weighs 44.6 grams without its screwplate. The serial number and the mint mark Monetni Dvor are located at the 6 o'clock position underneath the screw.
In pristine condition with all details crisp and all gold plating still present. Even the raised parts on the obverse show virtually no wear and the red enamels are absolutely stunning. Both sides show an appealing medium patina to the silver. The screw has not been shortened and there have been no repairs. The order comes with its time period and well fitted screwplate.
This piece is absolutely superb in every aspect: nearly impossible to find in better condition, backed by amazing research, and extremely rare as it was awarded to a foreigner.
