Ulaanbaatar resident J. Otgonjargal organized the transfer of the Silver Gerege, discovered at the “Ulaan Davaa” site in Bulgan soum, Bayan-Ulgii aimag, by local citizens A. Ansagan, Kh. Amanjol, and E. Amanbek in May 2024, into state ownership under relevant laws and regulations.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports, Tourism, and Youth of Mongolia awarded the citizens with certificates of merit in recognition of their initiative and contribution to preserving national cultural heritage. The Chinggis Khaan National Museum of Mongolia will display this historical artifact, calling for citizens to actively participate in the protection and preservation of our cultural heritage.
According to researchers, the Silver Gerege was written in Square Script during the period of the Mongol Empire, namely the Great Yuan Dynasty.
When transliterated into Latin, the scripture on the Silver Gerege reads “möngke tengri yin küčün dür qaɣan nere qutuɣtai boltuqai ken ülu buširegu aldaqu ükügü,” meaning, “Under the power of the Eternal Sky, May the Khaan's name be blessed, Whoever fails to revere Him shall blunder and perish.”
Additionally, six characters along the embossed perforation read “Emblem of Honor, Number 69”.
It is worth noting that, as of the present, only three artifacts similar to the Silver Gerege discovered in Mongolia are in collections in the Russian Federation and the United States, underscoring the need for further detailed study.
