Early awards Titles in Mongolia have a history dating back to the time of the
Mongol Empire. For example, the title of Baatar (“Hero”) was traditionally awarded to military leaders. A contest to select new designs for the highest state orders and medals was held and results were announced on 9 October 2014. Some of the published designs include an updated Hero of Mongolia badge with a Mongolian flag-styled ribbon; a new badge of the State Treasure title featuring the
Mahayana Buddhist Three Jewels; a slightly changed version of the Order of Genghis Khan; de-communized and updated designs for the Order of the Polar Star, the Order of Mother Heroine, the Honored Worker of Mongolia title and the State Cultural Prize badge, featuring the current
