  Medal of 10th Anniversary of Transdniestrian Army

Medal established by Presidential Decree no. 380 of 26 July 2001. It is silver coloured, 35 mm in diametre and the text around the flag and matching red star asserts "Without Fear and Hesitation".
This is a rare medal as Transdniestria remains a separatist territory with an uncertain future but with all the trappings of a State including award ceremonies. Reputedly medals are made in Russia.  They are awarded with pomp, sometimes by the self-proclaimed "President" Mr. Igor Nikolaevich Smirnov or the Minister of Defense Luitenant General S. Chazheev.
I am trying to find out how many people received this medal.
