JapanX Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Take a look at this one It was sold today on YJ for 175 thousands JPY Any help with inscription translation will be greatly appreciated! Obverse Reverse
drclaw Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Very interesting Nick! And not often you come across a case with the design of the medal imprinted on it. Have you come across this award previously?
JapanX Posted October 28, 2013 Author Posted October 28, 2013 Have you come across this award previously? Yes, but never in the box! Btw, we could really use translation of obverse inscription P.S. Usually they refer to this one as "foundation medal/order"

Jktu Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 中華民國維新政府 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reformed_Government_of_the_Republic_of_China 纪念章 - commemorative medal.
drclaw Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Thanks! That IS interesting. The Reformed Government predated Wang Jingwei's Reorganised Government. I thought the Warlord period colours looked a little anachronistic for a Wang Jingwei award - they were very careful to follow the Guomindang colours since they claimed to be the legitimate Guomindang government.
JapanX Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 Ineed, but the seller I thought the Warlord period colours looked a little anachronistic for a Wang Jingwei award ... "Transition period"
JapanX Posted November 15, 2013 Author Posted November 15, 2013 This piece was relisted again with the starting bid ¥170,000
