Context (Production / use)
This certificate confirms that the recipient has been recognised for 5 years of service in the Workers’ Guard. Notably neither the year nor day is written in, although the month (February) is. The certificate bears the stamped seal of the general (?) of the National Workers Guard. On one hand this certificate represents a form of recognition, on the other hand the lack of a full date gives some indication of the cursory nature of the acknowledgement.
