An interesting bit of 'news' on this badge for the 15 anniversary of the MPR (1936). First, as noted elsewhere: - Text on the front: "15th anniversary honour medal." - Text on the back: "Mongolian Government. 26th year - 7th month" (i.e. referring to the independence of Mongolia from China in 1911) Turns out the badge shown above is a (very common) Type 2: Soviet made with Mondvor screw back plate. Yes, that implies there is also a Type 1... also manufactured in 1936 but only for a VERY brief period of time and likely only awarded in limited quantities during July of that year before being replaced by the Soviet mint made one. This Type 1 badge was Mongolian manufactured and thus more 'rough' in appearance and painted with sand paint (used for painting the interior decorations of monasteries) and it also has some gold plating on the edges of the obverse. The reverse has a hand-written inscription that has the same text and date as the Soviet version. It has a pinback attachment. Apparently the Type 1 badge was made by Buddhist monks who also produced Buddhist god statues, accessories, etc. back in 1936. The badge was replaced as the gap vs. the attractiveness of the Soviet made ones was just too big. Replaced often meant withdrawn / destroyed and in fact many of the awardees were purged during the late 1930's under Choibalsan. Against that context, I will attach several pictures 1) Purged and executed Mongolian statesman Minister for Justice Comrade Dendev (wearing a Type 1 next to his Red Banner order) 2) Two pictures of partisan Dashzeveg wearing the same Mongolian version next to his orders plus a picture of him wearing a replaced Soviet version instead. Note, obviously I am just the 'channel' through which above is communicated (following me acquiring the badge) but am happy to share this and breath some life in the Mongolian section here. I am convinced that there are still more things to discover in Mongolian collecting. Some of the things may even be right in front of us by studies photographs with a magnifying glass. Others will require more research (which is obviously not easy). In any case, patience is key! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
