Special Notes: The disc is made of soft plastic. In the center is a logo that resembles the official logo of the Moscow Olympics. It consists of five Olympic rings and at the base with a series of vertical lines rising upward, which resemble both athletic running tracks and the silhouette of a tower. At the top sits a five-pointed star, a clear reference to Moscow’s Kremlin. At the bottom of the disc, to the left of the text, there is also a small circular factory stamp or manufacturer's logo, typical of Soviet plastic items of that period. The stamp/logo has not been identified with certainty. The logo is round and has five small squares. I suspect it belonged to the Soviet Moscow Local Industry Plastics Plant No. 1 (Russian: Московский завод местной промышленной №1).
