While things (phaleristic) changed in a big way in Russia and the other successor states, they didn't shift to the same degree in Mongolia. Some orders, medals, and badges got redesigned as the national coat of arms changed (as it had before), others didn't. Other than the Order of Chengis Khan (ex officio for the president) nothing new came in and none of the old awards were ended. Some ugly new items were introduced in the area of badges as central control relaxed and new institutions preliferated (for example a crop of new for-profit "colleges").
