Gensui Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Gents, I’d like to share my latest acquisition with you – a cased 25th Wedding Anniversary Commemorative Medal. The case is slightly dented alongside, but I’m hesitating trying any “repair” (e.g. pushing the “scratch/dent “from the inside). There might be a risk that the lacquer surface will flake. I may clean the surface of the case, but won’t touch this nice patina of the medal itself. There is a visible indentation in the insight of the case and I guess, this medal “slept” in the case for a long time. I’m curious, how long it will take to get the award document for this beauty… Does anybody know, if foreigners were awarded with this medal? For example, any foreign ambassadors or diplomats, who joined this ceremony? Comments are welcome - enjoy the pics! BR, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gensui Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Love this patina! Congrats man! Next stop - 9.jpg Nope! One out of 33 awarded medals is too tough (although I'm still wondering, how much realy very minted...) I think getting a citation is much easier compare to the golden Wedding Com. Medal. BTW, any ideas about any possible awarded medals to foreigners? BR, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanX Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Nope! One out of 33 awarded medals is too tough (although I'm still wondering, how much realy very minted...) Pessimist! BTW, any ideas about any possible awarded medals to foreigners? Why not? Especially since according to statute it was awarded to every human being that was invited to the wedding celebration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gensui Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Gents, For all those who are still looking for a nice Valentines gift: Wedding Anniversary Medal in silver … Edited February 10, 2015 by Gensui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gensui Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 ...and in GOLD Happy bidding... BR, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gensui Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 …to be honest, I don’t believe here in a golden version of this medal. Case looks mostly like the one for the Promulgation medal and the medal itself could be a “deadly-polished†silver medal. I’m not sure about the base material of this medal. I would had expect some more prominent case with some golden flower décor (compare to the case of the silver medal) for the golden Wedding Anniversary Medal...

JapanX Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 …to be honest, I don’t believe here in a golden version of this medal. You got that right To me, it looks like patinated silver version of the medal. At least by these terrible photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fukuoka Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Gold doesn't lose its patina. It can be seen a mile away, which is why it has been so valued over the centuries. Photos are bad, but even so, this looks like the silver version. (Still xxx nice, though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
History_Geek Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Would you be able to tell the difference between a gold and silver version of this medal on an award document? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I wonder if anybody saw a doc for gold version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
