Diameter: 82 mmWeight: 101 g History of the original Order:The Badge of Nobility for Mongolian, Hui, and Tibetan Princes, is round in shape. According to their religious customs, it features a design of the Three Jewels. The Hui badge includes patterns of the sun and moon, as well as a series of five linked stars. The central section, encircled by a white ring, includes inscriptions in a combination of Chinese, Mongolian, Hui, and Tibetan scripts. The Chinese characters are written in seal script, indicating the title of Prince or Duke. The center of the badge is embedded with a gemstone, and the back has a pin for wearing.On January 19, 1913 (the second year of the Republic of China), Provisional President Yuan Shikai issued Order No. 16, promulgating the regulations for the Badge of Nobility for Mongolian, Hui, and Tibetan Princes. The badges were divided into five ranks and were manufactured and distributed by the Bureau of Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs.On January 6, 1920, the United Association of Mongolian Princes proposed to the Beiyang Government to modify the design of the badge, suggesting the removal of the inscriptions and replacing the ranks with pearls. The proposal recommended that the badge's design should resemble that of an order of merit, featuring a lotus flower in the center and using pearls to indicate rank. However, due to the late period of the Beiyang Government, very few of these revised badges were issued."贝勒" (Beile) is a title of nobility used in the Qing dynasty of China and among the Manchu people. It is often translated as "Prince" or "Noble," and it ranks below the title of "亲王" (Qinwang, meaning Prince of the First Rank) but above lower noble titles. The Beile title was typically granted to members of the imperial family and distinguished Manchu nobility. They are all in excellent condition and would make a fantastic addition to any collection.
