Original Item – Only One Available. This original medal issued in 2016 to mark the 55th anniversary of the first human spaceflight, honoring Yuri Gagarin and the legacy of the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center. This official award features a detailed central portrait of Gagarin in his historic space helmet, surrounded by a radiant multi-point star design, symbolizing the dawn of the space age and humanity’s first step beyond Earth.

The medal is suspended from its original blue ribbon with white edge stripes, topped by a gold-tone laurel element marked “55.” The reverse bears the official emblem of the Cosmonaut Training Center named after Yuri Gagarin, confirming its institutional origin. Finely produced with crisp details, this piece reflects the prestige of modern Russian space-related awards.

Highly collectible and significantly scarcer than standard anniversary medals, this award is especially desirable for collectors of space history, cosmonautics, and Cold War era legacy institutions. A standout piece representing one of the most important milestones in human history.
