Dieter3 Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 One of the documents for these went on Yahoo! Japan Auctions, what, maybe a month or two ago? I think it hit 100,000+ Yen.

Dieter3 Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 So here's another hypothetical - if you could only have ONE or the OTHER - which would you rather have? The medal, or the document? A semi-evil question, I know....

A semi-evil question, I know.... I guess medal ... Especially if it is offered with the box... If it's not hypothetical - then I take the doc (already have boxed medal )!

JapanX Posted July 8, 2012 Author Posted July 8, 2012 Beautifully patinated specimen! You can see every tiny detail ... Thanks mate! I wonder if anybody at this forum has gold one
Dieter3 Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 Well, if anybody does - it's Rich or Paul! I don't have either! :(
JapanX Posted July 8, 2012 Author Posted July 8, 2012 Well, if anybody does - it's Rich or Paul! Hmmm... Tell me more!
fukuoka Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Although I have two photos of the gold medal on my site, I have never seen one myself. Ultra rare--unless you have access to the Imperial Household. http://imperialjapanmedalsandbadges.com/25thwedding.html Now that I think of it, why would any medal awarded to an Imperial family member find its way into the public? Besides theft, that is.
JapanX Posted July 9, 2012 Author Posted July 9, 2012 Now that I think of it, why would any medal awarded to an Imperial family member find its way into the public? Besides theft, that is. Every family has its black sheep I heard even chain once found its way into the public ...
Dieter3 Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Now that I think of it, why would any medal awarded to an Imperial family member find its way into the public? Besides theft, that is. Indeed! And I have long wondered what has become of medals belonging to imperial family members over the years? Are they stored somewhere, do they make the rounds on public display?
