Ravenft Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Hi all, I recent got this Sacred Treasure 6th Class in unbelievable condition. Looking at the makers mark it appears to be Zohei-kyoku (Japan mint) in Osaka,Japan? Is that the same as the "M" mark? or is it from a different maker and time period? I read on this forum that the M mark is from 1931 and later. Is my mark that same or earlier? Thanks, Rav Some more photos for beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PATOUT Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Hi "Ravenft" For me it is the workshop of: 幣"- Zōheikyoku sei. Osaka’s mark is simply a "M" cordially. But maybe our friend Nick can tell you more. cordially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PATOUT Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Hi, According to me, and according to what I have observed, the mark of the imperial workshop of the medals of Ozaka: "M" appeared in 1929 and was in use until 1936, and I think it’s the same for the other marks Cordially Patout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) This badge wa issued somewhere between 1931 and 1933. This is the known time period for this mark as per today. Who marked orders with 幣 is not known with certainty (as per today) It could be the second mark of the mint since 造幣局 - mint But as I said earlier this is a hypothesis.

Zōheikyoku/ ぞうへいきょく/ 造幣局 translated as Mint bureau or simply Mint. 幣 reads as nusa and could be translated (from chinese) as money/coins/currency On 15/03/2020 at 23:15, PATOUT said: According to me, and according to what I have observed, the mark of the imperial workshop of the medals of Ozaka: "M" appeared in 1929 and was in use until 1936 Mark M was in use during longer time period.
