    Nationalist Medal for Japanese Comrades


    Recommended Posts

    Posted

    Very interesting and practically unknow (at least to me ;)) award.

    Not much info (as always).

    This one was issued by Republican government to "japanese comrades who participated or/and provided help to Chinese Revolution".

    The exact period of issuing is unknown, but most likely it was established after 1928 and (for obvious reasons) was issued only for a few years.

    Made in silver.

    Central medallion bears Sun Yat-sen portrait.

    Obverse (unfortunately I don`t have photos of reverse and the box)

    Enjoy :cheers:

    Hi Richard!

    I believe that the name of this gentleman is Sun Yat-Sen.

    Quite suitable person for central medallion of such commemorative medal ;)

    Best,

    Nick

    Very interesting to see what a proper, original medal with a profile looks like.

    Unlike those ghastly Chinese knock-offs with their soul-less, staring eyes ...

    Thanks for posting Nick!

    Hi Gavin!

    Good to see your post as I haven't heard from you in awhile. Nick says that the gentleman on the medal is Dr. Sun Yat-Sen. What are your thoughts? He seems to look rather young (of course everone appears to look young to me now that I am in my eighties).

    Best Regards,

    Dick

    Gentleman. I should have known never to doubt Nick. I certainly was wrong. That is indeed the founder of the Republic. Here is a snapshot I took of him while we were on vacation (only fooling)
