Typical (terribly looking) modern Labour Banner "made in Mongolia"
Although the number was added (most likely) by some enthusiast

Same piece under different light

The cloisonné should be the exactly same quality, thick, dark when no lights are aimed at it and with no metallic shine like the 6th mini and the previously offered fake breast star.
Actually it could have very different looks

Same piece.

Both pieces (yours and one in post #9) look like 100% fakes to me.

... the Japanese mint does not put a hanko inside the case, they always use the four kanji characters, the evidence is in the product itself.
I wonder why do you think that mint manufactures cases for its orders and minies :whistle:

Yep, looks like this auction was selling same piece ;)

... and they also uses the same 4 kanji characters to indicate it is made at the mint (no hanko or chop stamp).
Take a look at this sacred treasure mini

You must read what I wrote and compare ...
I did (twice ) and this piece still looks ok to me.
As for the "metallic shine", "thickness of red enamel", etc. - miniatures have quite different characteristics than full-size orders.
