Nice! This is one of the commemorative ones correct?

Hi Doug,

Considering how rare these are... Yeah, I'm 99.999% sure that mine is a commemorative medal. With that being said, this one compares nicely with the original that Stu posted in his war medals thread.

I agree! it looks great with the other medals! I only ask because my jaw dropped when I saw it lol.

Hope you got a box included. These are common enough that you should. If I were collecting medals & awards I'd hold out for only boxed examples unless it's something extremely rare

Hi Jareth,

No box. But I got it cheap enough and didn't want a box anyway.

Still, store box away. Having a box will one day (it will come!) help it sell far quicker & for a better price

I know. Most of the other Japanese medals I have came with their boxes. This one didn't but was still super cheap. Che sarà, sarà...

I enjoy watching your collection grow, I am liking these Japanese medals more and more.
