[JapanX]

I didn`t find the thread devoted to this medal

As we know, at the end of 1979 Ulaanbaatar Mint produced the first batch - 2500 pieces (serial numbers 00001-2500). All these medals have red paint at obverse. More or less unified batch - only the ingraving style varies.

Let`s examine specimens from different hundreds and thousands

The second (and the last one) batch was produced by Ulaanbaatar Mint at the end of 1984 - 1000 pieces (serial numbers 2501 -3500). All these medals have red hot enamel at obverse, different type of pin, serial number lost the "0" prefix and different ingraving style.
