    hi all does anyone have any info on the issueing of these medals were they given for actual rescues or say financial donation all I have seen is for merit, pre war example, nice artwork on the obverse I believe today the society is called marine rescue and works with the coastguard

    I think as usual - active work + quite possibly financial donations.

    But I don`t have any hard facts ...

    The current incarnation is this group: http://www.mrj.or.jp

    See this page for the current medals. The Special Merit Medal (similar to the one Mickey has shown) is given for donations of 200,000 yen or more. http://www.mrj.or.jp/commendation/index.html

    Check out some of the other medals on the latter page. Given for hefty donations, etc. I have yet to see these in the secondary market.
