Order of Rising Sun - Vintage 2003

[JapanX]

The penultimate photo gives us a good opportunity to see how the star changed. More precisely star overlay. That’s the picture from Osaka mint, pictures of admiral star and old star. Take a good look! I’ve got a feeling that some changes occurred with the form of overlay rays. But maybe it’s just my paranoia :anmatcat:

The news taken from Antara News Agency 2 days before:

Jakarta, May 6 (ANTARA): The Japanese government is to decorate the chairman of the Indonesian Regional Representatives Council (DPD), Ginandjar Kartasasmita, in recognition of his valuable contributions to closer Japan-Indonesia relations, the council said. Kartasasmita would receive a medal of merit called "the Grand Cordon of the Order of the Rising Sun", the DPD said in a statement on Tuesday. The Japanese emperor was expected to confer the award on Kartasasmita at a ceremony to be held in the Japanese Imperial Palace on Thursday, the DPD said.

I guess I'm surprised at the somewhat low numbers on those documents, given the late years! Am I reading that wrong?? Very neat!!
