DavidS Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 This Medal has been a mystery - to Peterson and to myself. Has anyone any information, and/or able to translate the script on the front and reverse (see pictures)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TracA Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 This was all that I could find: https://asiamedals.info/threads/unidentified-inner-mongolia-medal.24462/. Perhaps JapanX will weigh in with more up to date information. Tracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidS Posted November 8 Author Share Posted November 8 Dear No one From Lexilogos, there are two very similar characters - ᠬ and ᠭ . I am unable to say why the badge shows ᠪᠠᠷᠬᠣ and not ᠪᠠᠷᠭᠤ but I am convinced that it should be the latter. Banner (administrative division) Map with Traditional Chinese script 新巴爾虎左翼旗 Banner Map with Simplified Chinese Script 新巴尔虎左旗 ᠰᠢᠨᠡ ᠪᠠᠷᠭᠤ ᠵᠡᠭᠦᠨ - the Bichig script shows ᠪᠠᠷᠭᠤ New Barag Left Banner[2] (Mongolian: ᠰᠢᠨᠡ ᠪᠠᠷᠭᠤ ᠵᠡᠭᠦᠨ ᠬᠣᠰᠢᠭᠤ; Chinese: 新巴尔虎左旗) is a banner of Inner Mongolia, China, bordering Mongolia to the south. It is under the administration of Hulunbuir City. All above information taken from Wikipedia. regards David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
