Japan I wonder what happened with this Order of Precious Crown

See?

But then again it could just more (much more!) elaborate craftsmanship ...

I think this has definitely a soldered crown. Shadows beneath the rays

I see them too, but after all you can`t be too carefull with pictures ...

Could be an optical illusion ...

[utopis]

That's true. But it looks promising.

Interestingly the pebbles are concave just as the ones on the crown I posted in #19 which I thought might have a soldered crown.

They are indeed!

Both pieces are from the same vintage

In conclusion I'd say that there are some that are multipart constructions and others are stamped as one piece.

Yes, you're right.

7 and 8 of the Order of the Precious Crown classes have differences by period

During Sheva orders were stamped as a unit

In the Meiji era orders were multicomponent constructions
