Order of the Precious Rod (aka Order of Varja), 3rd class,
4th grade, 1913 through mid-1920s. This is a decoration of
the transitional period prior to the complete Bolshevik
takeover and introduction of the new Mongolian award
system. Only a few of them in any class are known to exist
today. In excellent condition.
Honorary Medal of Labor, Type 1, Var. 2 (screw back
suspension, engraved number without the prefix "N"), #1840,
circa 1946-47. Note the serial number which is exceptionally
low for the Variation 2: it is well below the regular
serial number range for this version. An extremely
interesting piece in excellent condition. Includes original
suspension with "Monetnyi Dvor" (Mint) screw plate.
