JapanX Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Very intersting medal... Couldn`t find anything on this one, exept that this medal was intended for Palace guards (my guess this info originates from reverse inscription - unfortunately I don`t have photo of the reverse). Diameter: 33mm Obverse Enjoy!

JapanX Posted May 14, 2012 Author Posted May 14, 2012 Thanks Rich (forget to check your scanotec ) Interesting thing - the medal I posted is exactly the same medal that could be found at the bottom of your page ... Anyway - another "unofficial" Manchu medal
922F Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Thank you both--saw one of these in a Tokyo collection about 10-12 years ago without ribbon. Owner described it as a palace security guard award, whether for being a member of the guard or for superior service unknown.
