    Additional information in on this:

    The three Chinese seal characters at the top of the medal (the white enameled side) read, literally, ?Tibetan Mongolian Bureau/Ministry?. Your current id is correct, as the official English name of the office may have been a ?committee? rather than a bureau/ministry. The two seal characters on either side of the three characters read ?Second Class?, signifying that this is a second class award.

    Thanks to Paul Kua!

    So . . . there's at least a first class badge "out there" . . . get to work!

    Dear Gentlemen,

     

    The last one, it's a Chinese one, "Bureau of Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs" (July 1912~February 1, 1929) :

    It has a long history, starting back in 1636 and continuing today.
