[JapanX]

Really interesting badge.

Issued in 1938 by People`s Committee of Kwangtung Province.

Obverse

Reverse

Obverse characters read "Give money to save our country".

Reverse characters read "Republic year 28, Kwangtung Province People's Committee, maker Chung Hwa "Pearls and Gold" on a Hong Kong Avenue in Canton".

We also see mark 9 Karat and engraved name of recipient Cong Mang Chen.

It is believed that this badge was given for donating money to purchase U.S. war planes.

Once I saw that this badge was called "Kwangtung Peoples Machine Purchase Resistance Fundraising Committee Member"

Another interesting example on the ribbon of the 5th Class Revolutionary Donation Medal (?) numbered 570 on reverse.

Gives you a clear idea about the size of this badge ;)
