Mongolia Medal for Unselfishness

[Bob]

Very nice. Are you by any chance a collector of this particular medal?

What's particularly interesting is the amount of variations that can be observed (especially for lower numbers). Offers challanges for sure!

Now I know why these are so hard to find, you've got them all.

Congratulations on a very nice collection.

On medals of this type other punch and figures jammed not in one line.

Two-place numbers at this type too aren't present

On medals of this type number was put штихелем, instead of a punch and in the middle of a medal, instead of below

Just in, a documented (slight water damage) unnumbered Medal for Selflessness. The medal was awarded to Namdag Chimid on May 8, 1979. So, curious what he did in terms of saving a life or protecting the state property. More news to come (I hope...).
