The most interesting thing is that there are actually two variations of this jettons.

Comparison

[JapanX]

There was no regulation for wearing these badges...

But check out this jetton on creme ribbon

[JapanX]

So they call this one "2nd type" ...

Sometimes they call it "for wearing on button" version (the date of introduction is December 3, 1912)

Later alteration to screw or official variation?

In addition to these jettons sometimes you can see this version of badge (they call it "later type" ... they say society was going to change design of its donation badges every year and this is one of this later badges ... Hmmmm)
