A boxed set of two medallions made at the Japan Mint. You can see other medallions
from the Mint HERE, but this set seems to be the most prized of them all. The
workmanship is very nice and the designs are striking. Note that there are lower
quality medallions with the same design. These may be fakes.
Note that as with other medallions made at the Mint, these could be personalized
with a lid inscription. So inscriptions on the lids often differ.

Fake?
Someone rubbed out the inscription on the inside lid. Why would that
have been done? The round paper insert that rests in the fitted
depression is still here, and these are usually lost. It reads 'China
Incident Commemorative Medal Relief, (Made of Bronze), We the
Imperial Army advanced into North China and battled until the end. We
stood brave and advanced aggressively.'
Thick and heavy. Inscribed 'Showa 12 [1937], China Incident
Commemorative.'
