This award was originally created in 1926 under the name Order of Literacy Valour. In 1931 its name was changed to Order of Civil Valour, and finally in 1945 it became known as the Order of the Red Banner of Labour Valour. It was a civil decoration awarded to individuals for notable service in key areas of society, such as education, agriculture, health, and industry—recognizing contributions to national development and social progress.
Awards like this were part of Mongolia’s system of honours during the socialist period when the government recognised not just military achievements but also significant civil and labour accomplishments that advanced national goals.
The Order of the Red Banner of Labour Valour Medal Design
The obverse of the Order of the Red Banner of Labour Valour has varied with different production types, but core elements remain consistent with its military and symbolic themes. There are several different designs, some of which are listed below.
The ribbon for the order is green with a central red stripe, a design typical of many labour and merit awards from socialist-era states, symbolising dedication and sacrifice.
