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

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

    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...).
