On June 20, 1965, the obverse design and inscription of the medal was altered permanently. Thus, there are two main models of the medal.
The medals awarded from 1954 to 1965, depict a man carrying a child out of flood waters on the obverse medallion. The obverse inscription from 1954 reads “1954 EV DUNAI ARVIZVEDELEMERT,” and the obverse inscription from 1955-1965 reads ” DUNAI ARVIZVEDELEMERT.”
The medals awarded from 1965 to 1989, depict a man working to create a flood wall on the obverse medallion, and feature the obverse inscription “ARVIZVEDELEMERT.”

Tablemedal made in Hungary by Miklos Borsos. With the image of Stalin and a date (1949).
Miklos Borsos (1906-1990) was a Hungarian sculptor and medallist. His style integrated elements of archaic art and classicism with modern elements.
Borsos made use of all sculptural genres. He developed embossing of copper plates (which was a rare technique at that point in history), and produced a number of sculptures for public places and sepulchral monuments focusing on a modern environmental culture which often bore a deep personal message and reflected great intimacy (combining symbolic motifs of natural life, as well as cultural values). Human and animal figures were common subject, and his forté was not in fine detail but in creating overall masterpieces. Borsos also became focused on portrait art during the late 1950s and 1960s, where his work integrated aspects of nature, atmosphere, as well as cultural and spiritual traditions into a new genre of sculptural art.
In 1979, Borsos opened the Miklos Borsos Art Gallery in Győr. It is situated in the oldest neighbourhood of the city and is now the Miklós Borsos City Art Museum.
Miklos was awarded the title Artist of Merit of the Hungarian People’s Republic in 1967.
