JapanX Posted May 14, 2012 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanX Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
922F Posted May 15, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
