1980s Mongolian Order of Red Banner of Combat Valor – Type 5 Variation 2 Silver, Moscow Mint, Excellent Condition, Official Issue

Description

Original Item – Only One Available. This exceptional Type 5 example of the Mongolian Order of the Red Banner of Combat Valor represents one of the most prestigious military decorations awarded during the communist era of the Mongolian People’s Republic. Manufactured at the renowned Moscow Mint during the 1980s, the order features the classic multi-piece construction with beautifully preserved enamel work, silvered rays, and deep red translucent enamel arms surrounding the central state emblem of socialist Mongolia. Awards of this level were issued only to individuals who demonstrated distinguished military merit, courage, and outstanding service to the armed forces and national defense structure of the Mongolian state.

The Order of Combat Valor ranked among the highest military awards of communist Mongolia and was reserved for respected military personnel, commanders, and individuals who made major contributions to combat readiness and state security. Compared to standard commemorative decorations, authentic original examples of this order are becoming increasingly difficult to locate in excellent collectible condition, particularly Moscow Mint-produced variants retaining strong enamel quality and original finish. The detailed workmanship, heavy construction, and iconic socialist-era design make this one of the most visually impressive Mongolian orders produced during the Cold War period.

This Type 5 silver variation remains in excellent condition with attractive original patina and well-preserved enamel surfaces throughout. The reverse retains its original numbered issue marking, further confirming its authenticity as an officially issued state decoration. An outstanding centerpiece for advanced collectors specializing in communist-era Mongolian awards, Soviet-allied military decorations, Cold War orders, or rare socialist bloc honors.
