Unidentified Mongolian Medal

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)?

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.
