Freedom Order.

A beautiful star , brass about 60mm dia, anyone has a clue ?
And here is the back, anyone who can read the writing?

I got a mail from a good friend in Mongolia, and the answer is :

Motherland order from the present Democratic Republic of Mongolia!

Christer,

Sorry that I've only seen this one now.
On Dr. Battushig's book, this Order is called "The Order of Freedom", and it's a recent award from the Mongolian Democratic Party.

Correct. It is not an official national award, it is the "Order of Freedom" of the Democratic Party (Ардчилсан нам). Battushig shows it as B50.

For these party "orders" (as for the parties?), the "jewels" are pretty fragile and tend to fall off.

The Freedom Order (Эрх Челөөний Одон) is constructed from brass with rather plastic "enamel". Certainly a long way from the Soviet made state Orders.

Here is double recipient I. Dorzhderem, an accountant.

Yeah, ugly and cheaply made, especially those blue "stones". Correct me if I am wrong, but Mongolians do not have much respect for it.

I've seen considerably worse quality held in considerably higher esteem.

If you don't know any better.....

Here the version awarded by the Mongolian Social Democrat Party, which merged with the Freedom Party in 2000. The reverse has the Party's slogan "Эрх Чөлөө, Шудрага Ёс, Эв Нэгдэл" (Freedom, Honesty, Unity).
