Mongolia Post-Socialist Political Party awards

[Ed_Haynes]

While we have dealt with the ongoing MPRP (Mongolian Peoples' Revolutionary Party) awards after the onset of democracy, there are also the other political party awards, especially those of the Mongolian Democratic Party and the Social-Democratic Party of Mongolia (Battushig p. 78). These are especially interesting for, if as is anticipated, there may soon be a new set of new Mongolian awards, they are likely to draw upon the design "standards" set by these awards.

While interesting to see, i have to say it's a shake that "old style" design is being left behind. I can understand not putting Choibalsan on a medal anymore and perhaps updating some of the symobolism, but would much rather prefer some continuity in design (and quality!) of awards. If not, they tend to lose character and become more or less generic awards which could be used for just about any country. I guess this is called progress though and I'm just conservative... happens as you get older :blush:
