Awarded for	Deeds of outstanding gallantry in war
Established	21 May 1793
Total awarded	nc

The Gold Medal of Military Valor is an Italian medal established on 21 May 1793 by King Victor Amadeus III of Sardinia “….per bassi ufficiali e soldati che avevano fatto azioni di segnalato valore in guerra” (for deeds of outstanding gallantry in war by junior officers and soldiers). The face of the medal displayed the profile of the king, and on its reverse was a flag decoration and the words “al valore” (for valor). On 14 August 1815, Victor Emmanuel I of Sardinia replaced it with the Military Order of Savoy (“l’Ordine militare di Savoia”), now known as the Military Order of Italy. Charles Albert of Sardinia revived it on March 26, 1833, and added to it the Silver and Bronze medals. These had, on their faces, the coat of arms of Savoy with laurel branches, the royal crown, and the words “al valor militare” (for military valor). On the reverse were two laurel branches enclosing the name of the decorated soldier, and the place and date of the action. With the proclamation of the Republic on June 2, 1946, the coat of arms of Savoy was replaced with the emblem of the Italian Republic

Soviet Union
Type	Honorary title
Eligibility	Citizens of the Soviet Union
Awarded for	heroic feats in service to the Soviet state and society
Established	April 16, 1934
Total awarded	12,775

The title Hero of the Soviet Union was the highest distinction in the Soviet Union, awarded personally or collectively for heroic feats in service to the Soviet state and society. The award was established on May 5, 1934, by the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union. The first recipients of the title originally received only the Order of Lenin, the highest Soviet award, along with certificate (грамота, gramota) describing the heroic deed from the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. Because the Order of Lenin could be awarded for deeds not qualifying for the title of hero, and to distinguish heroes from other Order of Lenin holders, the Gold Star medal was introduced on August 1, 1939. Earlier heroes were retroactively eligible for these items. The title was also given posthumously, though often without the actual Gold Star medal given. The title could be revoked only by the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet.
