The correct translation of reverse was already presented above.
First of all there is a word commemorative [honor medal].
Secondly this is not a "Central Mint of China". This is the Central Engraving and Printing Plant /Zhōngyāng Yìnzhìchǎng/ a subsidiary of the Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan).
"Central Mint of China" undertook the business of making official seals and national medals and orders only in 2005.
In 1956 Taichung Plant /subsidiary of Central Engraving and Printing Plant/ of the Third Bureau of Presidential Office was restructured to “Medal and Seal Production Plant” responsible for manufacturing official seals and national awards. In 2005 "Medal and Seal Production Works" was dissolved, business of producing the seals and awards was handed over to Central Mint.
+
3rd Bureau is not a "producer" but a production supervisor /監製 - to supervise production/.
+
Obviously in the present context 總統府 - Zǒngtǒng fǔ is not a Presidential Palace but an Office of the President.
Lastly the name of the medal reads 保舉最優人員 Bǎojǔ zuì yōu rényuán
保舉 - Recommended [lit. recommend sb. for a post or award]
最優 - Best [optimal; finest]
人員 - PersonnelIn fact, the name of each medal should include individual year and be read as (in the present case)
Commemorative Medal of Honor for the Best Personnel Recommended [for an award] in 1978

Yes, nice (and actually issued) 4th class Golden Kite order made by Japanese Mint after 1936. Looks like once it was inside a medal bar.

Indeed a perfect fit. This veteran obviously didn`t care much about any rules )
Manchukuo National Foundation Merit Medal stands before all Japanese medals.

Of the "China Incident War Medal" and "Great East Asia War" only one could be awarded.
Perfectly possible combination for a post-war veteran medal bar/ribbon bar.
Another example (from my personal collection).

Using the Medals of Asia website for information about the M mint mark and silver vs. gold kanji allows me to say this about dating this 2nd Class set: the neck badge and breast star are between March of 1930 and April of 1943, and the gold kanji puts the case up to sometime in 1940 at the latest, assuming that the set was indeed issued in the case and thereby using the M mint mark time coordinates to derive a terminus ante quem for the case. If the set was indeed issued in the case, then I would put the date between March of 1930 and sometime into 1940 at the latest.
Sorry, missed this paragraph. As mentioned earlier breast star and neck badge belong to /approximately/ 1936-1940 time.
As for the case, neck ribbon and miniature rosette - all three belong to the 1960+ time period. Most likely previous owner (or dealer) decided to "freshen up" this set.
The correct case for such set should look like this
After 1937/1938 silver inscription (with golden paulownia) is possible.
Best,
Nick

Rare set that was issued somewhere around 1936-1940.

Yes, it certainly is.
This nice Kite was manufactured by the Mint during 1930s/early 1940s.

We don`t need any proof since it is inside the 1942 regulation.

Excellent specimen in near mint condition.
Pity that sticker with the name of awardee was removed from the case.

Ok, and the chance that the 2nd one is real?
Chance is close to 100 percent.
P.S. A little correction to an old thread that Tracy mentioned above. All "flat reverse" sacred treasures belong to the 1960s-1981 time period. Although there are documented groups with this order variation that are formally awarded in 1944 /and even in 1943/ but in fact they were all issued during early 1960s /post-war awardings/.

Both birdies are from Meiji era.

All kites belong to the 1895-1910s time period.
Second medal bar (with Dragon of Annam) looks very nice.
First medal bar (with two kites) almost certainly a modern compilation /the "base" could be original by both kites were added later).

Do you have general photos of reverses of both medal bars?

... the commemorative medal is of course uncased.
Wrapping paper would be a correct "case" for the commemorative one.
Medal looks original. Only the ribbon of commemorative is a modern replacement and suspension ring could be resoldered/glued.

It's great news that you are able to appreciate my sweet tone and my kindness, dear Patrick. Ability to appreciate time and efforts of others is a rare commodity these days. So for example some of the residents of Staffordshire steppes are not even able to type two words "thank you."
But let's go back to my kindness and sweetness. If it wasn't for them, I would have picked up some short articles from the early 00s that were published in the OMSA journal. Trust me, servant of evil could find many "sensitive matters" in these shorts.
But that's not really my thing. Why? Because I am kind and sweet.
Et voici le meilleur exemple pour le pratiquer.
Sincères salutations,
Nick
