1960s Mongolian People's Enlightenment Outstanding Employee Badge Pyongyang Mint

Description

This extremely rare early 1960s Mongolian People’s Enlightenment Outstanding Employee Badge was awarded to leading educators and cultural workers of the socialist era and was uniquely minted in Pyongyang, North Korea.

Designed in a distinct diamond shape with vivid red and blue enamel, the badge symbolizes educational excellence and cultural service. It features a stylized book at the base and the Mongolian national emblem at the top, honoring those who made exceptional contributions to public enlightenment and socialist education. Produced at the Pyongyang Mint — a rare collaboration between socialist allies — this badge is among the scarcest Mongolian civilian awards of the time.
