Alex K Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) Hi all, I have a question which may seem stupid to some, but whilst I'm reasonably familiar with European awards, Oriental ones are fairly new to me but look very interesting. I understand that the rising sun came in 8 classes (Up to 2003) and understand that, however, unless it's me, I can't discern any differences between the 4th and 5th classes,, the third is obvious as it's a neck decoration, and and larger the 6th as it's silver in colour, but the 4th and fifth? any help appreciated Thanks Alex K Edited December 2, 2016 by Alex K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egorka Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 (edited) hehheeehhe I also though for some time I was blind... Number of flowers (?) is different, and the star is completely golden (5th has silver/golden rays). Edited December 3, 2016 by Egorka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex K Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 Hi the number of flowers is a tricky one to spot, the gold and silver rays may also be, as with a tarnished medal difficult to spot also, maybe that's why I couldn't see a difference, thanks, useful information regards Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 This is a very good question, which I've wondered about as well. Thank you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
