ehrentitle Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I don't collect Japanese Awards but purchased what appears to be some type of Japanese medal in a mixed lot of US insigina. No sure what period or even if it is Japanese. I've attached a photo, would be interested in your comments. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer57 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Very interesting!? It appears to Japanese, with the "Mum" in the center. But I think it was hand made. The Japanese medals I've seen are of Good high quality. Maybe a personal locket?Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehrentitle Posted July 24, 2005 Author Share Posted July 24, 2005 Thanks - I thought it might be civil, something like police and perhaps postwar since it does not appear to have many signs of age. No marks that I can see on the obverse. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No one Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Dear Gentlemen, It's not a medal, it's an object (souvenir) made of tin a specialty of Kagoshima. すず 鹿児島 - Google 検索 The three kanji 鹿児島 read Kagoshima. Kagoshima - Wikipedia You can see Sakurajima, an active volcano, Sakurajima - Wikipedia and the statue of Saigō Takamori, Saigō Takamori - Wikipedia Visiting Kagoshima, Land of Saigō Takamori | Nippon.com . There is no "mon", in the center, the official flower of the city, an oleander (夾竹桃 / kyōchikutō). From my balcony, January 11 2023 : - January 25 2023 : Yours sincerely, No one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
