From this site:http://slovari.yandex.ru/
you can learn that this is commemorative medal designed by sculptor intended Angelina Leonova. On the front side - the emblem of the Games against silhouette stadium. Top right - the inscription in Russian in four lines: XXII Olympiad, Moscow, 1980. On the back - View of Red Square in Moscow. The medal is made of red brass, thickness of about 3 mm.

we learn its prices as 50. 50 what? Rubals or Dollars? I guess US$ since the actual gold medal from those games is prices as 3000.
